Samgong-ri: Deokyusan Resort
Developed around the ski slopes of Deogyusan, Deokyusan Resort grew into one of South Korea’s principal mountain resorts. In Muju County, Jeollabuk-do, it lies in the northern reaches of Deogyusan National Park, a protected mountain landscape centred on Hyangjeokbong, whose summit reaches 1,614 metres. A gondola carries visitors from the resort base to Seolcheonbong, on the ridge below Hyangjeokbong, linking the developed slopes with hiking routes. The national park was designated in 1975, and its forested ridges include the headwaters of the Geumgang River. The resort’s mountain facilities form a distinct contrast to the quieter valleys below.

Samgong-ri sits at the foot of Deogyusan in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea, where wooded valleys lead into Deogyusan National Park. The settlement is part of Muju County, deep in the inland mountains rather than on South Korea’s better-known coastal and metropolitan routes. Nearby Gucheondong Valley is a celebrated stretch of forest, streams and waterfalls within the park, traditionally associated with 33 named scenic sites. Muju is also home to Taekwondowon, a large complex devoted to taekwondo, Korea’s martial art. Muju Deogyusan Resort adds ski slopes and a gondola to the mountain setting.

Rooted in the fertile Honam Plain and its long-established rice farming, Jeollabuk-do has become a cultural and agricultural centre of southwest South Korea. Its provincial capital, Jeonju, is known for Jeonju Hanok Village, where hundreds of traditional Korean houses remain, and for bibimbap, one of the country’s best-known dishes. Gyeonggijeon Shrine preserves a portrait of King Taejo, founder of the Joseon dynasty, connecting the city to the royal Yi family. Beyond the urban streets, the Mangyeong and Dongjin river basins spread across the plain, while Naejangsan National Park is associated with autumn foliage.

South Korea stretches from the mountainous border with North Korea to Jeju Island, encompassing forested ranges, fertile river basins and a deeply indented southern coast. The Taebaek Mountains run along much of the east, while the Han River crosses Seoul before reaching the Yellow Sea. Busan faces the Korea Strait, and tidal flats and islands shape the country’s western shore. Seoul combines dense contemporary districts with royal Joseon sites, including Gyeongbokgung Palace, first built in 1395. Kimchi and bibimbap are central to everyday cuisine, while the Korean alphabet, Hangeul, was created in the 15th century.
