Hallyeohaesang Cable Car.  The cable is 1,975 meters long, it is logiest in South Korea as of December, 2014. It will take about 9 minutes from end to end. The cable car is in this mountain. While your riding in cable car (it looks like ski gondola), you can enjoy panoramic view of Hallyeohaesang National Marine Park (Hallyeohaesang National Park)


I took the cable car and I was on the top of the Mireuk mountain June 2014.  The mountain has really beautiful views of south east part of Korean peninsula, sea-side view as well as mountain view. 



Introduction to Hallyeohaesang National Park: 

In 1968, Hallyeohaesang National Park was designated as the fourth national park in Korea. Hallyeohaesang is a unique marine ecosystem which extends along the 120km shoreline from Geoje in Gyeongsangnam-do province to Yeosu in Jeollanam-do province.

Hallyeosudo which is known as the most beautiful waterway ever has 69 uninhabited islands and 30 inhabited islands spread out across the sea like jewels.
The sedimentary rocks from the Mesozoic age create a mountainous range stretched out from the northeast to southwest, and the many capes, islets, and peninsulas constitute a typical rias coast.
