South Korea's Seoraksan National Park has been granted approval for a cable car project, marking a significant development for the country's outdoor tourism sector.
The decision was made by the Ministry of the Environment following South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's encouragement to push forward the project. Local governments in Gangwon Province, where the national park is located, are applauding the decision for its potential economic benefits.
The cable car will extend 3.3km from the hot spring town of Osaek in the park's southern sector to Kkeutcheong near the highest peak of Daecheongbong, attracting avid hikers who gather to watch the sunrise from the East Sea horizon.
The project, which has been in the works since 1982, is set to commence operations in 2026, accommodating 825 passengers per hour to a Y-shaped observation platform equipped with various amenities. The construction cost is projected to exceed $38 million.
