Geumjeongsan MountainThe maple leaves in Geumjeongsan Mountain are tinged with autumn red, like wearing a new clothes. The fiery red color makes the mountain in autumn as vibrant and lively as in spring time.Geumjeongsan has historically been considered as a mountain conducive to the defense of the country. For this reason, Beomeosa, a leading temple believed to defend and protect the country, was built along Geumjeongsanseong Fortress, the nation’s largest fortress, built in The Three Kingdoms period. The mountain is not startlingly tall, but has a graceful shape with dense forest and clear water fountains throughout the exquisite rocky cliffs, proudly representing itself as a famous mountain in Busan. It is no doubt that Beomeosa Temple is the most famous site in Geumjeongsan Mountain. There is a well on the top of Mt. Geumjeongsan and the water of that well is gold. The golden fish in the well rode the colorful clouds and came down from the sky. This is why the mountain is named Geumsaem (gold well) and the temple is named 'fish from heaven'.Designated as a natural monument, the wisteria woods and valleys are most beautiful in autumn.
