Information Introduction Seoul is enveloped by mountains, consisting of Bugaksan, Namsan, Naksan, and Inwangsan to name a few major peaks surrounding the city
Bugaksan, the mountain located to the north of Seoul, is the highest among these and is a southern offshoot of Bukhansan Mountain
It is also referred to as Baegaksan
Seoul Fortress Wall runs along the mountain ridge and Changuimun (also called Jahamun), one of the four small gates surrounding the castle town during the Joseon Dynasty, is on the west side of the mountain near Inwangsan Mountain
Running between Changuimun and Arirang Hill in Jeongreung, Bugak Skyway is a scenic road overlooking downtown Seoul; it also passes through a variety of attractions such as Changuimun and Bugak Pavilion
Another attraction is Samcheong Park at the southern foot of Bugaksan Mountain
Inwangsan Mountain (to the west of Bugaksan) and Naksan (to the east) were considered ideal locations, according to the philosophy of Feng Shui
Known for its rugged granite, Inwangsan Mountain was the site of many tigers attacks during the founding of the Joseon Dynasty
According to legend, the king entreated the mountain deity to send the tigers across the Yalu River
Even though the tigers were banished from Inwangsan, one female tiger bearing babies was allowed to remain on the mountain
The babies, subsequently multiplied and made Inwangsan a feared place, full of tigers
Inwang Skyway connects the east of Inwangsan to Bugaksan
The eastern side of Inwangsan was turned into a posh residential area while Guksadang (literally "National Shrine") was moved from Namsan to an area west of the mountain in the 1920s
Even today, shamans perform exorcisms at the shrine, as well as rituals honoring the mountain deities
