Peaks, Temples & Coastal Feels

#summervacay Namhae Geumsan? Absolutely underrated. This spot serves up killer mountain views and ocean vibes all in one go, total win. The hike itself is that sweet spot: enough to feel accomplished, but not so intense that you're questioning your life choices. You wind through lush forest trails, hit some rocky sections, and then boom, those views. Sea on one side, mountains on the other, and it all just feels big. There’s even this epic golden Buddha chillin’ up there at Boriam Temple, like he’s got the best seat in Korea. Super peaceful, and the breeze up there? Chef’s kiss. Also, the whole Namhae island vibe is just good energy. It’s quiet, kinda dreamy, and not swarmed with people. Perfect for a nature fix without the chaos. Bring a buddy, wear decent shoes, and don't forget your camera, sunsets here are next level. Solid 10/10 day trip. Would totally go again just to breathe that mountain-ocean air.
