Personal ranking of geocaches in South Korea - Scenery

The caches in this page are ranked by myself, so it is very personal. Please keep in mind that there must be many many good/great caches in South Korea. I am just still a newbie (I just found about 100 caches) in geocaching and I picked the candidates for this ranking among the caches that I had visited.
I just hope that this personal ranking may help any geocachers who want to enjoy geocaching with good views within very limited time budget in South Korea.
I will keep updating this page. Welcome any suggestions for this page, welcome any your recommended geocaches!

Chuncheon buk do, South Korea

The best cache that I have visited so far. Not far away from Seoul, easy accessability, great view, regular size. Most important thing is it is hidden place! I love this kind of caches, which bring me to hidden beautiful places!

Incheon, South Korea

Here is an amazing place where you can observe the airport and sea. I think this is the place where only geocachers can enjoy!
When I came here, I didn't have GPSr. I tried to search the cache by only seeing the satellite picture, and the result was DNF. :-) Because this cache led me a hidden great place, I ranked it at the second.

Gyeongsang nam do, South Korea

Here is so famous island for beautiful scenery. It takes about 1h 20m from Tongyong or 50m from Geoje by ferry. Its worth visiting here because it is so beatiful.
Unfortunately, I had no chance to try this cache when I visited here. So I didn't see this cache. But I think this island is worth visiting.

This place is so well-known place for sunrise. Inspite of its popularity, you can feel calm here.

Good place to see Hal-Lyeo-Hae-Sang National Park. You can reach here by a cable-car and then about 200m additional walk.

Seoul, South Korea

You can see the Seoul Metrocity view here. Easy trail, short distance, inside in Seoul. But so many muggles may disturb your fun cache hunting.

Gyeonggi do, South Korea

Famous place to Cachers in South Korea. Hidden place, near from Seoul, reachable by car with short walk, fine view of Han-river, and ammo-can cache!
Unfortunately, I could not see its view because it heavily rained when I visited here.

Mt. Gwanak is needless to be explained because it is so famous. Good place to see ammo-can cache in Seoul.
