Winter Trip in Korea | Ice Wall @Songhae Park in Daegu

What makes a winter trip special is a spectacular ice view like Songhae Park’s! Songhae Park is a very spacious park including areas surrounding Okyeonji Lake.

 

Near the North edge of the lake is located the infamous Ice Wall! This is obviously winter-only treat when you get yourself out of that warm comforter.

This stunning ice wall created on a mountain cliff is attracting thousands of tourists each day despite the frightening cold weather.

If you would like to make your visit, come to parking lot 3 or 4 and you will be able to access to the ice wall within a few minutes.

If you dare, challenge yourself to climb the Cloud Bridge 구름다리, which generally refers to a bridge that moves when you walk on it. This particular one does not move that much but the height underneath it makes it pretty scary!

On a side note, the park was named after this gentleman, a wildly famous TV personality, Songhae. His wife was from Okpo-ri, where the park is, and it became his second hometown since he could never re-visit his first which is in North Korea.

There are more to this park, walk along the trail and you will find Baeksegyo(100-year-old Bridge, the bridge is brand-new tho!), which symbolizes the prosperity and longevity.
