The staircase leading to the Giant Seated Buddha was just opened to visit, we can take extra steps to visit the Buddha too.

From the Seongpannak entrance to the Gwaneumsa temple end, we will take two distinct routes. Hallasan, South Korea's tallest peak, is located in the island's middle and is part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
