Hwangmaesan County Park
Gyeongsangnam-do(Hapcheon-gun)

Located at the border between Gahoe-myeon and Daebyeong-myeon of Hapcheon, Hwangmaesan is a guardian mountain of Hapcheon but has not been popular and was hardly mentioned in hiking magazines or tourist maps. Thanks for that, the mountain has all the natural environment that has been kept untouched and undamaged. In 1983, the mountain was designated as the County Park and now, along with Gayasan, it is regarded as one of the most major mountains in Hapcheon. Hwangmaesan is beautiful during the spring season when royal azaleas are at their full blossom but the summer season when hills are covered with fresh greens or the fall when silver grasses cover the hills gloriously and even the snow flowers in the winter season are scenes not to be missed. Unlike other mountain tops, this one has a full open view so every seasonal changes are more truly experienced. It is convenient that there is a road that reaches to the top of the mountain but if time allows, hiking up to the top to see the magnificent view is recommended for visitors.

Gujora Beach
Gyeongsangnam-do(Geoje-si)

Gujora Beach is a soft stretch of sand (30m wide, 1.1km long) that runs alongside the emerald-blue ocean. It was initially used by U.S. soldiers when a prisoner-of-war camp was established in Geoje in the aftermath of the Korean War. Since the 1970s, after the beach was opened to the public, it became better known for its natural beauty than its military history. The relatively shallow and warm water and nearby attractions (Mangsan, Sujeong Peak, Anseom, and Yundolseom) has made this beach one of the best weekend retreats in the region.Situated farther inland, partially encircled by the coastline, the water at Gujora Beach is calm and serene. Not only a great swimming spot, there are also a number of places nearby selling fresh sashimi as well as famous local produce such as anchovies and seaweed.
