Ancient Vibes & Big Trees

#summervacay Yongmunsan is one of those mountains that just feels special. The hike starts out super chill, with a well-kept path and loads of shade from the thick forest. But the real star early on? That massive, ancient ginkgo tree near Yongmunsa Temple. It’s like... spiritual. You just stand there staring up like, “Yo, how are you still alive after a thousand years?”

After the temple area, the trail gets steeper and a bit more rugged, but not too crazy. It’s enough to get your legs working but still manageable if you take your time. Along the way, there are these big boulders and clearings with views that make you wanna stop and take a breath (and about a hundred photos).

At the top, the view is wide open and totally worth the climb. Mountains on mountains. Sky for days. Pack some snacks, enjoy the breeze, and chill hard. Yongmunsan is where nature, history, and good vibes collide. 10/10 would hike again.
