About Geumsan

Geumsan offers a chance to escape the city and immerse yourself in the South Korean countryside. The town is surrounded by rolling hills, forested mountains and lush ginseng crops. Explore picturesque nature parks, participate in a traditional tea ceremony and discover the town’s rich cultural heritage.

Things to do in Geumsan

Explore deep valleys and rugged peaks in Daedunsan Recreation Forest. Scenic walking trails wind through the park and showcase sun-dappled pine forests. Tackle the rocky path to the summit of the 878-metre high Mt Daedunsan or ride the cable car. Visit in autumn to see the park’s deciduous trees put on a fiery display of colour.

Visit Wolmyeongdong and discover a wonderland of emerald-green ponds, decorative rock gardens and cascading waterfalls. Nestled in a picturesque valley, the park was founded by a Christian pastor and aims to unite nature and religion. Stroll through flower-filled gardens, admire enormous prayer rocks and visit a temple dedicated to the Holy Trinity.

Watch stallholders in action at the bustling Geumsan Ginseng & Herbal Medicine Market. Geumsan County produces more than 80% of ginseng sold in South Korea and has been growing the medicinal root since the Goryeo Dynasty. The market is a great place to purchase high-quality ginseng tea, as well as ginseng-infused products like sweets, liquor and beauty serums. For a unique cultural experience, participate in a traditional ginseng tea ceremony at a local teahouse.

Dine at local restaurants and try traditional dishes like “insam samgyetang” ginseng-infused chicken soup. You’ll also see South Korean favourites like “bibimbap” rice topped with meat, vegetables and a fried egg on menus. Ice-cold banana milk is another South Korean staple and a great way to cool down on a hot day.
