Recently, Mt. KumGang has also become a famous tourist destination, due to its magnificent view and picturesque landscape throughout the seasons. The government seems to be seeking investment for local hotel projects. Facing heavy sanctions, tourism might be a rather stable source of income.
The mountains are usually divided in 3 areas: Inner KumGang, Outer KumGang and Sea KumGang, each with unique visual features. The formation of its unique shape is due to the climate and geological activity.
- Inner KumGang: Nice views, visitors enjoy walking in Manpok ravine.
- Outer KumGang: Many rocky peaks. Chipson peak has many waterfalls.
- Sea KumGang: Famous for lagoons and stone pillars.
It is interesting to find that Mt. KumGang is actually very close to the border of South Korea, and on a spot South Korea's land can be seen clearly afar. It makes us wonder if some defectors ever managed to swim across the sea. It is so near yet so far.
South Korea is on the opposite side as you can see.
