Tourists climb up Gwongeumseong (권금성) on Mount Sorak (설악산) in Seoraksan National Park, South Korea. At the bottom of the area is the Sorak Mountain Rescue base, where you can buy a medal with your name engraved to prove you've climbed to the highest point of Gwongeumseong.
From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoraksan_National_Park):
The nature reserve protects an area of 163.6 square kilometers and contains many notable high peaks measuring over 1,200 meters above sea level including the highest peak of Soraksan, Daecheongbong, which has an altitude of 1,708 meters. The nature reserve contains mountain ranges of dissected granite and gneiss and is characterized by spectacular rocky hills and ridges. The magnificent natural beauty of Soraksan and the mountain ridges is due to these geographical features. Annual precipitation in Inner Soraksan is 1000 millimeters and 1300 millimeters in Outer Soraksan. - Tags / Keywords:
