Gurye District is one of the main road to Jirisan.

 

Especially for hikers who want to cross Mt. Jirisan, Gurye District is always crowded as the gateway to the most popular course.

 

However, since bibak was banned at Mt. Jirisan in 2012, it seems that it is gradually becoming an unfamiliar landscape to see crowded hikers.

 

To go from Gurye Station to Jirisan Mountain, you have to transfer once at the Gurye Public Bus Terminal in Gurye-eup.

 

Gurye Public Bus Terminal has a building that looks like a tourist attraction, but it is clearly different from other bus terminals in terms of cleanliness.

 

In particular, if you take the last train and get off at Gurye-gu at dawn, a bus specialized for Jirisan Seongsamjae is waiting for hikers. The driver of this bus provides detailed information about transfers, fares, and stops, which is very impressive.
