4. Access :
There are various ways to the Dong Seoul Bus Terminal where you could use subway or bus or taxis depend on your situation. People are usually to use subway line 2 getting off at Ganbyeon Station and changing to Dong Seoul Bus Terminal taking 1 minute for 81m distance. You could take intercity bus bound for Cheongpyeong Terminal taking about one hour, nonstop. As soon as you arrive at the Cheongpyung Bus Terminal, you should change to Local Bus connection with bus line No 32-22 which take about one hour and 30 minutes for 40 times bus stop passing. Please refer to the map of “Transportation from Dong Seoul Bus Terminal to Youmyeongsan Parking”. I estimate total transportation time from the Dong Seoul Bus Terminal to Youmyeongsan Parking Lot as about 6 hours for round trip. But you would reduce this transportation time to 4 hours for round trip in case you use private car or rent car which you could save two hours for the transportation.
4. Overall Remarks.
Youmyeongsan Mountain consist with gradual ridge, plentiful water at valley, fantastic and strange rock and stone and thicker and dense forest which become beautiful harmony with these particulars. There is well known Hyundeungsa Temple at the mountain which was donated by the king of Beonheung to Maragami Month in Shilla dynasty.
The name of Youmyeongsan was originated from Mayousan at Daedong Yeogido which was first official map in Korea and thereafter changed to Youmyeongsan. Nobody knows when and who changed its name to Youmyeongsan and no clear explanation or records for these change. Miss Kim Yu Myeong paid a visit to Mayousan together with others and someone at the visiting group changed its name to Youmyeongsan according to tumor.
There are several well-known puddles at the Youmyeongsan valley flowing original stream from Yongmunsan Mountain like Madang Puddle, Yong Puddle, Bakjie Puddle and so on. There is Silver Grass Field widely spreading near to the Summit which we could look donw and around view because there is not taller tree around the field.
5. Detailed Course Information
As introduced at the Map of Youmyeongsan Hiking Course, I have started to move up from the Youmyeongsan Parking Lot where I could check climb course again before the climb. As explained at “ Hiking Course and Closing Zone”, there are two possibly way to climb up to the Youmyeongsan Summit; the one is from left to right and the other opposite way, from right to left. I originally took a schedule to take the latter covering from right to left. But red zone between the Hapsu point and the Bakjieso Point was completely closed for nature preservation. Therefore I could not make complete hiking and instead just climb to the Summit and return back to the Youmyeongsan Parking Lot through the same course as shown at the “Hiking Course and Closing Zone”. When I started to climb at the Parking Lot, it was very fine and clean weather which I could expect very nice nature picture around the Summit. I passed the entrance gate and walked on easy paved road and crossing the wood bridge for a while and found so fresh valley stream flowing from the upper valley sounding nature stream sing and recorded at video as attached. I kept walking through the same paved road for a 2 to 3 minutes and reached the landmark standing at the junction, the one going up to the Summit, 2.1km and the other going to lodging house. As I turned left at the junction and walked straight ahead along with fresh and clean valley stream for about 10 minute, I reached second landmark stating as 1.8km to the Summit and continued to walk up on ridge road through oak tree forest which shows very fresh light yellow green leaves. I turned left at the junction and kept climbed the steep ridge road for about 15 minutes and reached break area where I saw landmark saying as 1.6km to the Summit I found the road was changing to steeper and rougher than previous road which I came up so far. As I kept climbing this hard road for about three quarter minutes, I found landmark saying 700m to the Summit, less than a km distance. The road conditions was changed to rocky and sloped road different from previous. I continuously walked on these road for about three quarter minutes again and finally touched down the Summit – 862m altitude and saw very clear and good scenery around the Summit as expected earlier at beginning and recorded these pictures at video as well as camera. But I saw some dark could partly hanging over the sky which would include heavy rain inside. I so try to hurry up for getting down and back to the Youmyeongsan Parking Lot through same road as climbed up after about 2 hours for down walks.
