Information:
Mt.
Songnisan National Park is comprised of Mt.
Songnisan and the valleys of Hwayang, Seonyu, and Ssanggok.
Situated in the middle of the Sobaeksanmaek Mountains, which is the southwest branch of the Taebaeksanmaek Mountains, Mt.
Songnisan is one of Korea’s most beautiful sites.
The sharp granite peaks of Mt.
Songnisan and the deep valleys of sedimentary rocks are spectacular.
Therefore, Mt.
Songnisan is also referred to as Mt.
Sogeumgangsan, meaning a smaller version of Mt.
Geumgangsan. One of Korea's largest temples, Beopjusa, can also be found on Mt.
Songnisan.
Uisang indicates a sitting Buddha statue and Maaeyeoraeuisang describes the Buddha sitting on a lotus flower.
The years have damaged the figure quite a bit, but it still maintains its original beauty.
Visitors to the temple will witness the Cheongdongmireukbul, which is the largest Buddha statue in the world.
With its numerous treasures and National Monuments, Beopjusa Temple is the best place in which to experience the brilliant history of Buddhist civilization.
Mt.
Songnisan's deep valleys and the many Natural Monuments attract countless mountaineers and tourists.
The cherry blossoms in the spring, green pine forest in the summer, and the lovely autumn leaves in the fall make this place beautiful all the year round.
