Then let's begin. The Samaksan Lake Cable Car, which connects Samcheon-dong, Chuncheon, across Uiam Lake and Samaksan Mountain, is the longest cable car in Korea with a length of 3.61km.

The cable car departs from the lower stop at the entrance of Samaksan Mountain and passes directly over Uiam Lake.

Opened in 2021, it became a popular tourist attraction in Chuncheon as soon as it opened, as it offers comfortable views of Uiam Lake and Samaksan Mountain.

The sight of solar panels that fill Carp Island is quite unique.

The cable car ride takes approximately 20 minutes, and the view of Uiam Lake and the surrounding scenery below feels refreshing.

The upper stop halfway up Samaksan Mountain is well equipped with an observatory and spaces where you can take a break.

You can see Carp Island and Uiam Lake in the distance, and beyond that you can see downtown Chuncheon at a glance.

From the upper stop, you can follow the deck walkway, which takes about 10 minutes, to the Skywalk Observatory.

The Skywalk Observation Deck, which is 52m long and 35m high, has a transparent glass floor, giving you a thrilling experience.

The cityscape with its lake and forest is truly beautiful. At the entrance to the Samaksan Mountain hiking trail in Seomyeon, Chuncheon, there is a beautiful canyon with large and small waterfalls between strangely shaped cliffs.

Here, numerous waterfalls and small ponds come together to create a spectacular view.

In particular, you can enjoy a light valley trip while visiting the ‘8 Deungseon Scenic Spots.’ When you pass the ticket office and enter the entrance to Deungseon Falls, you will see a distant gorge where you can feel the cool air.

This is ‘Geumganggul’, the first scenic spot of the ‘8 Deungseon Scenic Spots’.

At the end of the gorge is the ‘Deungseon 1st Waterfall’, which coolly pours from a height of 10m.

The view of the canyon and waterfall from the top of the steep stairs is spectacular. The strong stream of water from ‘Deungseon 2nd Waterfall’ pours down from under the bridge.

This is ‘Seunghak Waterfall’, which looks like a hermit is flying on a crane. The flowing water of the waterfall has a simple and refreshing appearance.

The 5th scenic spot, ‘Baekryeon Falls’, was named so because it looks like a silk stream spread out.

‘Oknyeodam’, the pond where the fairy bathed, is the 6th scenic spot. Below the railing on the right side of the stairs is the 7th scenic spot, ‘Biryong Falls’.

The well-known legend of a fairy and a woodcutter is told here, so it is also called ‘Seonnyeotang’ or ‘Yongso.’ After a while, ‘Juryeom Waterfall’, the 8th scenic spot, appears.

This waterfall is said to resemble jade beads flowing down.

Those who like hiking can enjoy a hike to the top of Yonghwabong Peak from here. At the foot of Obongsan Mountain, which towers on one side of Soyang Lake, is Cheongpyeongsa Temple, a thousand-year-old temple founded during the Goryeo Dynasty.

This temple, which was first founded by Master Yeonghyeon in 973, the 24th year of King Gwangjong's reign in Goryeo, was designated as Scenic Site No. 70 for its beautiful appearance with the valley and strangely shaped rocks.

In the past, the access road was not good, so many people had to take a ferry from Soyang Lake, but these days, there are good roads for cars as well.

A red suspension bridge welcomes visitors at the entrance to the valley.

The legend of the princess and the serpent is told here, and it is fun to walk up and look for related sculptures.

It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the entrance to Cheongpyeongsa Temple, and the walk along the beautiful valley feels truly refreshing.

The statue that looks like a fairy is a Tang Dynasty princess from the tale of the princess and the serpent. The rock you see in front is 'Turtle Rock.' Can you see the turtle too?

After passing the small, refreshingly flowing waterfall, you will see 'Gusong Falls', famous as one of the three major waterfalls in Chuncheon along with 'Deungseon Falls' and 'Gugok Falls'.

'Gusong Falls' is named so because there are 9 pine trees nearby and 9 different sounds can be heard depending on the environment.

The sight of the waterfall pouring down with force is spectacular.

In front of the temple, there is a rectangular pond, 'Yeongji Pond'. 'Yeongji' is a pond created by Lee Ja-hyeon during the Goryeo Dynasty, and is 200 years older than the alpine water garden at Saiho Temple in Kyoto, which Japan is proud of.

As you enter the precincts, the ‘Cheongpyeongsa Revolving Gate’, designated as Treasure No. 164, catches your eye.

‘Cheongpyeongsa Revolving Gate’ is a building built by Master Bowu when he rebuilt Cheongpyeongsa Temple in the 5th year of King Myeongjong of the Joseon Dynasty.

and it serves as the Sacheonwangmun for other temples. The name ‘revolving door’ is related to the princess tale and refers to reincarnation in Buddhism.

The sight of ‘Cheongpyeongsa Temple’, where you can feel the breath of a thousand years ago, feels infinitely peaceful.

At the foot of Bonghwasan Mountain in Namsan-myeon, Chuncheon, there is ‘Gugok Falls’, which shows its beauty in all four seasons.

This waterfall, which is about 50 meters high, is spectacular as the water falls down several levels of rock.

It was named 'Gugok' because the water stream flows in nine curves.

It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the ticket office to the waterfall, and is a pleasant walk that blends the forest and valley.

The sound of the water seemed to get louder, and then ‘Gugok Waterfall’ appeared. The waterfall flows around nine bends, fluttering like a fairy's wings.

Those who like hiking can follow the ‘Kalttakgogae’ hiking trail to ‘Munbae Village’, which takes about 40 minutes.

Chuncheon, located where the Bukhan River and Soyang River meet, is famous for its beautiful rivers and lakes, so much so that it is called a lakeside city.

The ‘Soyang River’, familiar to us as the ‘Maiden of the Soyang River’, flows through downtown Chuncheon, and with the creation of the 'Soyang River Skywalk', it has become an essential course in Chuncheon travel.

When you reach the end of the 174m long skywalk that extends coolly above the river, a cool fountain gushes out from the mouth of the mandarin fish sculpture.

Next to the skywalk is Chuncheon's landmark, the 'Soyanggang Maiden Statue,' making it a great riverside walk to take a look around.
