Green Tea Vibes and Mountain Skies at Illimsan

#summervacay If you’re down in Jeollanam-do and craving a hike with serious views and a chill vibe, Illimsan near Boseong and Suncheon totally delivers. The trail winds up through lush forest and opens up to some jaw-dropping scenery, especially if you’re into rolling green hills and wide skies. It’s not a super intense climb, but it does get your heart pumping in the best way. The coolest part? You can actually see the famous green tea fields from up top if the sky’s clear, which makes the whole hike feel kind of dreamy. The air smells amazing, especially after a bit of rain, clean, earthy, and just a little sweet. You’ll pass a couple of peaceful pagodas and resting spots, perfect for catching your breath and snapping some pics. Honestly, it’s the kind of hike that feels like a mental reset. Not too crowded, super scenic, and full of that southern Jeolla charm. Highly recommend tossing this on your weekend escape list!
