Top Nature in Gwandong

Check the weather before you go; it can get slippery inside the cave. I almost wiped out on some wet rocks!

Bring a flashlight if you have one; some parts of the cave are a bit dim and having your own light helps a ton!

If you can, visit on a weekday. It was way less crowded and I really enjoyed the calm atmosphere during my visit.

I recommend getting there as early as 7 AM. The park gets really busy, and you'll want that quiet time to enjoy the views. Plus, it’s cooler for longer hikes.

My advice is to pack snacks and water. There are spots to buy food but it's way more expensive and the lines can be long during peak times.

I recommend downloading a good offline map before heading out, since reception can be patchy, trust me it saved me a lot of time getting lost! Also, the trails can be a bit confusing if you're not familiar with them
