How to Escape the Crowds at Naejangsan, Part 2

Taken in the tourist village just outside the entrance to Naejangsan National Park before 8am.

1. Wake up very early before everyone else so that you can take pics like these. By 9am the tour buses would start rolling in and then these pavements would be full of pedestrians, salesmen and panhandlers. So, once again, set the alarm clock, get dressed and have breakfast before dawn so that you can be ready to start snapping at first light. More on early birds getting the pics in my next posting.

Glorious dampong a.k.a. maples!

2. Go during winter but then, you wouldn't see sights like the above obviously.

3. Hit the less-popular trails.
