Jirisan National Park

Jirisan Mountain is the second highest peak in Korea after Hallasan Mountain in Jeju Island. More than ten peaks headed by the 1915-meter-high Cheonwangbong form a majestic scene. The surrounding area spans Jeollabuk-namdo and Gyeongsangnam-do. Since the climbing route is very long, tourists need to prepare basic climbing equipment. Between the lush virgin forests and the rocky valleys there is a gurgling stream. Climbing to the peak, the rolling sea of clouds and the rolling mountains have a panoramic view. Rhododendrons in spring and red leaves in autumn are gorgeous. There are ancient temples such as Huayan Temple and Quanyin Temple at the foot of the mountain. The scenery is beautiful, especially the snow scene.
