Duryunsan Cable Car: 50-person cabins to the top of Gogyebong Peak, 638 m above sea level
The cable car climbs to the top of Gogyebong Peak on Duryunsan Mountain (638 m above sea level) and carries 50 people at a time. From the top, the archipelago of the southwestern sea spreads out, and on clear days you can see as far as Hallasan Mountain on Jejudo Island. There is no hiking trail at the top, so you must ride the cable car back down. source 1
Duryunsan Cable Car: how to ride without a reservation
Advance reservations are not accepted, and you can change your boarding time on site on the day. If you get a refund or change the time after your boarding time has passed, 20% is deducted. Pregnant women and intoxicated people cannot ride, and wheelchair users should ask at the ticket office first. source 1
Duryunsan Cable Car: the group rule and the discount amount differ by source
The round-trip general fares (15,000 won for adults, 12,000 won for children) are the same on the operator's website, in Korea Tourism Organization TourAPI, and in Haenam County Culture and Tourism. The group fare of 13,000 won is for 20 or more adults on the operator's website and 30 or more adults in TourAPI. So a party of 20 to fewer than 30 people gets it in one source but not the other, and a party of 30 or more gets it in both. The discount for people with disabilities, seniors 65 and older, and persons of national merit is 2,000 won on the operator's website and 1,000 won in TourAPI (no combined discounts). If you will ask for it, bring ID and call 061-534-8992 before visiting. The line speed is 3.6 m per second on the operator's website and 3.8 m per second in the Korea Tourism Organization TourAPI description; both give 8 minutes one way. source 2
A round trip is 15,000 won for adults (middle school students and older) and 12,000 won for children (36 months to elementary school students), and children 36 months and under ride free. These general fares are the same on the operator's website, Korea Tourism Organization TourAPI and Haenam County Culture and Tourism. The group fare of 13,000 won is for 20 or more adults on the operator's website and 30 or more adults in TourAPI. So for a party of 20 to fewer than 30, the sources differ on whether the group fare applies, and a party of 30 or more pays 13,000 won in both. The discount for people with disabilities, seniors (65 and older) and national merit recipients is 2,000 won from the operator and 1,000 won in TourAPI (no combined discounts in either). The operator asks to see the relevant ID, so call before visiting (061-534-8992). source 1
