A Singaporean tourist had to be rescued by helicopter in South Korea after he allegedly strayed into a restricted area on one of the mountains there and got lost.
The 60-year-old, identified only as Mr A in local media reports, had allegedly entered the restricted zone of Sanbangsan Mountain, located in the south-western coast of Jeju Island, at 7.48pm on May 18.
The mountain attracts scores of visitors due to its vibrant fields of mustard flowers in the spring, but the upper areas of Sanbangsan, including its summit, are off-limits to the public to protect its vegetation and prevent rockfalls.
