About Samcheok-si

Samcheok-si, a scenic coastal city on South Korea's east coast, is a hidden gem. Its stunning natural beauty, including the majestic Seoraksan National Park and the picturesque Samcheok Beach, makes it an unmissable destination. What sets it apart, however, is the stunning Naksansa Temple, a 1,500-year-old Buddhist temple perched dramatically on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The best time to visit Samcheok-si is during the spring when cherry blossoms bloom, painting the town in vibrant hues. For first-timers, it's worth noting that the city is easily accessible by bus from nearby cities, with regular departures from Gangneung and Seoul.
