The National Parks Index

Korea’s most-visited national parks, 2025 — 43,310,477 visits across all 23 parks, straight from the park service’s own count. Hiking is the national hobby; this is where it actually happens. Bukhansan tops the list for a simple reason: it is a proper mountain range inside a city of ten million.
