A mountain view without a full hike
In Haenam, Duryunsan Cable Car offers a way to approach the upper mountain without a lengthy hike. The Korea Tourism Organization describes the one-way ride as about eight minutes. On a clear day, views stretch across the southern coastline, although visibility is never guaranteed.
First check: winter hours
The published basic schedule is 09:00–18:00 in summer and 09:00–17:00 in winter. The exact seasonal changeover and final ticket-sale time are not established by that listing. Contact the operator before traveling to confirm current hours and last boarding.
Second check: wind and weather
Strong wind or poor weather may suspend cable-car operations. Consider conditions at the top, including wind, cloud and footwear, and check before leaving rather than discovering a suspension on arrival.
Tickets and access
The published address is 88-45 Daeheungsa-gil, Samsan-myeon, Haenam-gun. The tourism listing gives 13,000 won for an adult round trip and 10,000 won for children, with inquiries at 061-534-8992.
