This collection covers key cultural landmarks like the 14.6-meter Great Unification Buddha and the ancient Sinheungsa Temple. Natural highlights include the multi-tiered Towangseong Waterfall and the unique spherical boulder of Heundeulbawi. For panoramic views without the steep climb, the Seorak Cable Car provides rapid access to the 13th-century ruins of Gwongeumseong Fortress.
