Top Panorama Photo: A panoramic view of the 1708m peak Dae Chung Bong (대청봉) at Seoraksan (소락산) National Park. On either side of the peak are paths that lead back down to warmth and safety but most importantly, Korean food (though around these parts, they just call it 'food'). Why so important? Because honestly, those man-sized helpings of bibim bap (비빔밥) and doenjang jigae (된장 찌개) aren't gonna finish themselves!
