Visit to Gangwha Ginseng Market
We recently moved to Gimpo. One of the joys of living here is that we are a close drive to Gangwha island, which has always been one of my favorite Korean destinations. It is only twenty minutes away.
Recently, we discovered the Gangwha Island Ginseng market. There are several on the island, but the one we went to is the one locals go to. The price is fixed, and the quality is quite good, guaranteed by the local government. The two official centers, located on the entrance to Gangwha, cater to tourists and are a bit of a rip off in my opinion.
if you do buy it there, you can have them wash it for free. We use it in soups and our daily smoothies. Probably means I will live until I am 100 years old.
We also went to Manisan for a hike. See below.
and went twice to Pomunsa for a hike and spent the night nearby in the Dream Inn which was quite nice. We had a great breakfast the next morning.
and we had a great sushi feast the other day on Gangwha island. And we also ate fresh shrimp.
lots of things to do. Here’s a partial listing

Manisan Mountain, Gangwha Island
Manisan is a mountain in Incheon, South Korea. It is situated in Ganghwa County and is the highest peak on Ganghwa Island. Manisan has an elevation of 469.4 m (1,540 ft).[1] There is a popular hiking trail to the summit; at the summit is Chamseongsdan, an altar where Dungun (the founding father of Korea) performed ritual ceremonies.
Manisan is the highest peak on Ganghwa island. It is a legendary mountain where Dungun the founder of Korea came to the earth. The park signs are all in Korea. as is the map. There are four routes, blue, yellow, red, and purple. The blue route is the shortest route to the top. The first part of the trail is along an asphalt road following Manisan creek through an old-growth forest. The blue trail branches off to the left and from that point on is a dirt trail, a trail with steps, and some scrambling up rocks. There is a rail all the way so that helps. The elevation gain is steep at times. At the top of the mountain, there is a nice sky bridge trail to viewpoints. The view is spectacular.
There is a campground on the other side of the mountain where the red and purple trails originate. The round trip is about two and one-half hours and is about a 4-mile round trip. One could make it a loop by taking the yellow course back down the mountain.
Chamseongsdan was closed for renovation. However, there is a replica at the foot of the mountain where the occasional ritual is still held.
Near By Restaurants
There are several restaurants at the bottom of the mountain. One served a great belt fish menu.

One funny thing about this mountain is that it would be just about as easy to visit on a layover as it would be from anywhere else on the Korean peninsula. Manisan is by far the closest 100 summits mountain to Incheon International Airport! At least, it’s close as the crow flies. Manisan is not exactly on the way anywhere – it’s on Ganghwa island! If you do the aforementioned airport plan, one-way transit will take you nearly two hours (bus 9000 from the airport, connecting to bus 700-1 in Yangcheon – if you’re curious!). The trip is a little longer from Incheon. Take the orange, Incheon line 2 metro to Majeon station and then catch the 700-1 bus for just over two hours (starting from downtown Incheon). From Seoul, navigate your way to Yangcheon by bus or subway (different depending on your starting point – but aim for Gurye station on the brown line 9) – then catch bus 700-1. Seeing the theme? Bus 700-1 run to the Hwado bus terminal, just north of Manisan. A few other buses…

Dec 03, 2014, · Manisan stands at 469 meters (or 1539 feet) above sea level, and it offers two hiking paths. We took the tougher route, the Stairway Path. As you can guess from the name, there were a lot of stairs, as is quite common with hiking in Korea, but this mountain is definitely worth the work.

You begin to ascend as soon as you leave the parking lot, then it’s pavement, stairs, and “carpet” as you make your way to the peak. There’s an ancient alter at the top.
