Hiking Sinumsan

#summervacay Spent a great day hiking around Sinumsan in Donghae, Gangwon-do, and it was such a chill combo of nature and ocean vibes. The trail is pretty easygoing, nothing too intense, making it perfect for a relaxed day out. You start through cool, shady forest paths that give you some peace from the sun, then as you get closer to the top, the trees thin out, revealing stunning views of the East Sea sparkling below. The summit area is super peaceful, with plenty of spots to kick back, enjoy a snack, and soak in the fresh sea breeze. It’s the kind of place where you can feel totally refreshed without the hassle of a tough climb. Plus, being near Donghae city means it’s easy to combine this hike with some tasty local food afterward. If you’re looking for a low-key hike with killer coastal views, Sinumsan is a hidden gem that’s definitely worth checking out.
