Hallasan National Park Management at the World Heritage Office of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province announced plans to extend the entry and exit times at Hallasan Mountain between May 1 and August 31.

This is to provide convenience for visitors, as the daytime in the summer (May to August) is longer compared to the spring and autumn seasons.

The entry time is adjusted from 5:30 am to 5:00 am, and the entry and exit hours are extended between 30 minutes and one hour per course.
