Zero Point Yumesamdong

Hill

Zero point is the last outpost of civilization. The road ends here. Peaceful valley and is quite windy – there was not much to hear but just stay here for some time to enjoy the beauty. With the majestic mountains and ice around – it was like being the only people in the world. Calm, quiet and a sense of insignificance – time seems to stand still here…. like nothing ever changes.

Top Pick
