>decide to go to South Korea to hike the mountains>almost all of it is paved/planked pathways with guardrails that you just casually walk along>all slope has stairs (worst than going up normal slopes imo)Don't make this mistake, go to Japan or China or something instead for east Asian hiking
>>2854883>Mfers really out here bitching about getting to travel to exotic countries saying it was 'le bad' because you came across a le heckn path
>>2854883Did you not think to check that sort of shit before you went? Google could've told you most trails in Korea are paved.
>>2854883China is way worse, they have virtually no hiking or camping culture, "nature tourism" at least in Eastern China or if it's a popular enough spot in Western China will be artificial to the point that places feel more like a natural theme park than actual nature. Luckily unlike Korea China has plenty of amazing nature to spare, they can't get to all of it, especially in the western half. Pretty hard for foreigners to access western China though, especially for something like hiking and camping.Hiking is pretty popular in Korea though, it's sad that a lot of their most popular spots have excessive pavement but there's plenty of more natural areas and trails also. But it's not as pretty as Japan or Taiwan anyway.
