Detail
Seventy percent of Korea s land is made up of mountains and thus, there are many national parks here with beautiful mountains ridges and magnificent scenery. As the fourth bundle of travel destinations that Koreans must visit, we would like to introduce you to Korea s beautiful mountainous national parks. Juwangsan National Park is a national park with Juwangsan Mountain (720m), which spreads across Cheongsong County and Yeongdeok County in North Gyeongsang Province, as its center. Juwangsan Mountain is one of the top three rocky mountains in Korea, which also include Seoraksan Mountain and Wolchulsan Mountain. At the entrance of the mountain trail there is a towering, peculiar and marvelous rock face that spreads out like a f olding s creen and i s als o k nown as ‘Seok byeongsan Mount ain. Starting with Juwangsan s majestic but aesthetic Yongchu Falls, Jeolgu Falls and Yongyeon Falls, visitors can appreciate Woroe Falls and Dalgi Falls together with Jeolgol Valley, which holds the mystery of original nature, and unexplored regions illustrated by 300-year-old red leaf willows and Jusanji Pond. Juwangsan s geological features are diverse and unique, and it was registered as a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2017. Taebaeksan National Park is a national park with Taebaeksan Mountain (1,567m) in Taebaek and Yeongwol County of Gangwon Province and Bonghwa County of North Gyeongsang Province as its center. Taebaeksan Mountain was considered the sacred mountain of the people from ancient times and sits in the center of the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range. Taebaeksan Mountain is a magnificent national park with snow-covered pinus koraiensis in winter and royal azalea and autumn foliage in the spring and fall. At the mountain peak there is the Cheonjedan Altar where people once performed heavenly rituals, and the mountain is well-known for the Monument to the Dan Jong, a monument house of the king of Joseon, and Yongjeong, a well that is situated at 1,470m above sea level. This region is comprised of the Geomnyongso Spring, the source of the Hangang River, and Baekcheon Valley, the world’s southernmost habitat of the Manchurian trout. It possesses various and excellent cultural/ ecological scenic resources. Mudeungsan National Park is a national park located in the vicinity of Mudeungsan Mountain (1,187m) in Dong District and Buk District in Gwangju Metropolitan City, Hwasun County and the border of Damyang County in South Jeolla Province. Mudeungsan Mountain is known as the guardian mountain of the Honam area. At the peak of the mountain there is Cheonwangbong Peak with grand columnar joints magnificently spread throughout the area, and among them, Ipseokdae Rock Columns, Seoseokdae Rockface and Gwangseokdae Colonnade are known as the Three Rock Sceneries of Mudeungsan Mountain. There are also traditional Buddhist temples including Jeungsimsa temple and Wonhyosa temple as well as the Hwanbyeokdang Pavilion, Sigyeongjeong Pavilion and the Soswaewon Garden with their flowering Gasa literature and tower/pavilion culture. Mudeungsan Mountain was also registered as a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2018 and acknowledged for its geological value. Bukhansan National Park is a national park with Bukhansan Mountain (873m), which is spread across the northern region of Seoul and areas of Gyeonggi Province, as its center. Bukhansan Mountain endured long years of weathering to form a beautiful valley that now stands between its gigantic granite peaks. Around the highest peak, Baegundae Peak, there is the well-known Mangyeongdae Overlook, Nojeokbong Peak, Uidong Valley and Segeomjeong Valley. The site also contains cultural relics including Bukhansanseong Fortress and the monuments commemorating King Jinheung s tour as well as numerous Buddhist temples and hermitages including Doseonsa, which was founded by Doseon Guksa, and Taegosa. Bukhansan Mountain is a globally rare site, a national park located within a city. There is also a trail along the mountain allowing visitors to walk along the skirts of the gentle Bukhansan Mountain while gaining natural, historical and cultural experiences.
