[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] As South Korean society gradually recovers from the long social isolation stress and returns to pre-COVID-19 daily life, vacationers nationwide are preparing for the peak holiday season outings.

There are countless famous tourist attractions in Korea, but recently, tourism to Jirisan, known as the roof of Korea, is gaining new attention.



In particular, many tourists are flocking to Daebongsan Cheonwangbong (1228m), which shares the same peak name as Jirisan Cheonwangbong (1915m) located within the administrative district of Hamyang-gun.

From Daebongsan, visitors can enjoy the scenery of 11 peaks of Jirisan at an altitude of 1228m by riding the longest monorail (3.93 km) and the longest zipline (3.27 km) in Korea.

The Baekdudaegan mountain range, the backbone of the Korean Peninsula starting from Baekdusan, extends through Taebaeksan to Jirisan. Passengers on the monorail and zipline at Daebongsan Healing Valley encounter the ultimate peak of Baekdudaegan.

An official from Hamyang-gun, which operates Daebongsan Healing Valley, said, “We thank all tourists visiting Daebongsan,” adding, “Our ultimate goal is to deliver the value of travel that cannot be fully captured by a camera lens, so we will do our best to make the healing valley more friendly, safe, and filled with heartfelt impressions.”

Based on its high accessibility (within 3 hours from major cities nationwide), Daebongsan Healing Valley offers clean valleys to beat the heat, various activities, delicious local foods, and diverse traditional cultural heritage that can be enjoyed as a day course. It is expected to be the best family vacation destination this summer as it was last year.
