▣ This is the most preferred course among the hiking courses in Mt. Cheonggye.
    The reason is that;

1. It is quieter than the Cheonggyesan Maebong course because there are fewer climbers.
2. The quiet hiking trail is good for contemplation alone or a conversation with a companion.
3. The hiking trail is less tiring because it has fewer steps and is made of soil rather than stones or rocks.
4. The uphill continues, but the climbing time and intensity are moderate.
5. The wind cools the heat, and the surrounding trees block the sun.
