Wolchulsan National Park

Mount Wolchulsan, true to its name which translates to "Mountain where the moon rises," is a national park located at the southernmost tip of the Korean peninsula. It boasts stunning scenery, abundant cultural resources, and the unique regional sentiments of the southern Korean region. Centered around Cheonhwangbong Peak (810.7m), unique rock formations stretch out like a panorama, earning it the nickname "Exhibition Hall of Strange Rocks," and it is also known as "Southern Korea's Little Sogeumsan." This area is also famous as the birthplace of King Parsa of the Baekje Dynasty and the birthplace of Dosan Guksa of the late Silla period.
To the south of Cheonhwangbong Peak lies Muwisa Temple, and to the west, Dogapsa Temple. Valuable cultural heritage sites, including the Gate of Nirvana at Dogapsa Temple (National Treasure), the Paradise Hall at Muwisa Temple (National Treasure), and the seated stone Buddha statue (National Treasure), are scattered throughout the mountains. In particular, after passing Dogapsa Temple and hiking about 5 kilometers, you will reach Gujeongbong Peak, characterized by nine basin-shaped holes that are always filled with water, said to be where a dragon resides. Just 500 meters below, you can find a massive seated stone Buddha statue.
The "Cloud Bridge," a famous landmark of Mount Wolchul, is built 120 meters above the ground, offering a thrilling experience. Furthermore, the magnificent scenery of Chilchi Waterfall and the silvery reed fields that spread across Miwangjae in autumn are unforgettable sights of Mount Wolchul. The sunset, painted in red against the backdrop of the Yellow Sea, is breathtakingly beautiful, a scene that words cannot fully capture.
In the southern valley, near the Geumneunggyeongpo Observatory, there are serene historical sites such as the Wolnamsa temple ruins and a stone pagoda, which evoke a sense of history. Mount Wolchul boasts a unique charm in every season, from the rhododendrons of spring to the snowy landscapes of winter, attracting tourists throughout the year.
