Pukak Skyway is located along Mount Pugaksan, very close to the heart of the city of Seoul. Seoul is basically surrounded by several mountains and Pukak Skyway is one of the most popular driving courses in the city. The skyway is approximately 20 kilometre long and has spectacular view of Seoul city and the surrounding mountains.
Pukak Skyway is certainly one of the few green refuges in the city. The skyway was partially opened to the public in 1968 as most parts of Mount Bugaksan contain sensitive military zones which are manned by both South Korean and US militaries. An attraction at Pukak Skyway not to be missed by any foreign tourist is the Palgakjeong Pavilion which has spectacular and scenic views of the surrounding areas. Leave a Comment

Legend has it that seven nymphs of Heaven's Emperor descended at night to bathe at Cheonjeyeon Waterfall which is also known as the pond of god. There are in fact three waterfalls in the valley. The view from the bridge over the valley is breath-taking! Don't miss the Seven Nymphs Bridge when you are having a vacation in Cheju Island. Leave a Comment
