태백산 등반 2

The second day, we took a different route: Danggol Square[당골광장]-Jedanggol[제당골]-Munsubong[문수봉]-Cheonjedan[천제단], about 7km.




The second day was even colder than the first day.

This photo shows me at Danggol Square in the morning.

Can You see the temperature? It's -14 degree.

And I guess it was nearly -20 at Munsubong and Cheonjedan.

'눈꽃(snow on the branches)', on the way from Munsubong to Cheonjedan.

The snow-capped scenery which is often showed on newspaper and magazines are mostly taken at Mt. Taebaek.


On the summit - 1,567m above sea level.

28 Dec was also the coldest day in Shanghai. Temp hit 0 degC at night.

The name "Mt. Taebaek" is so apt. "Very white mountain" if I translate it literally. The mountain definitely looks very white =)

Yes, 28th was also the day when the temperature dropped in Seoul. (The weather broadcast on tv reported that).

"Very white mountain" - I've never thought about its literal meaning, but it sounds correct according to the Chinese translation:)

와! 너무 너무 에쁜다.
Will there still be snow in Mt Taebaek in March? I'm planning a 10-14 days free and easy trip. Can't wait... wish I'm there now : (

In March... well, I'm not quite sure about that. Sorry:)

Which places do you want to visit this time?

Sandy, 샌디 said...

My friend and I have not decided. At the moment, we are thinking of Seoul, Jeonju,Jeju-do, Pusan, Jihae, Andong and Seoraksan.

But we'll probably have to shortlist again. I think there are too many places for 2 weeks : (
