A cable car ride to the peak of Gwongeumseong Fortress on Seoraksan (1,708m), Korea's most dramatic mountain. In autumn (October), the entire mountainside explodes in red, orange, and gold — arguably the best fall foliage view in Korea. The 5-minute ride offers 360° views of inner Seoraksan and the East Sea.
