I love this Metasequoia trail and used to trek here often with friends, hiking club members, or by myself. Let's take a stroll and grab a cup of tea afterward. I can't stay for meals as I'm still in m
We will hike (trek) across the Bukhansan Mountain Dullegil Course #8. It will be a gentle, refreshing 2.5-hour trek. We can have lunch or tea at Starbucks or a nearby restaurant afterward. Please com
