| Description |
Mt. Biseulsan stands at the edge of Cheongdo-gun and Dalseong-gun. It is not
such a high mountain, but because of its scenic beauty and clean air, its an
easy place to want to visit again.
Mt. Biseulsan has long been known as a
temple place, and according to the legends its to produce a thousand saints
from its regions. Famous monk Il-Yeon (monk scholar of the Goryeo Period)
apparently spent his 20s here, training for his career as a monk. At that time
Il-Yeon spent his time in the Bodangam Building learning about various faiths
and their scriptures, and it became a solid basis from which to write his famous
Samgukyusa, a compilation of the history of the three kingdoms).
The most
beautiful aspect of Mt. Biseulsan is the Azaleas that blossom in the spring.
Painted crimson red, the flowers harmonize perfectly with the complementary
colors of the surrounding forest. All through the year, the pine forest fills
the mountain, and the broad-leaf trees come alive in the fall in all their
brilliant autumn colors in perfect harmony with the fantastic looking rocks of
the mountain peaks. Large areas of the ridge tops become covered with purple
eulalias, and it provides a majestic view for the fall mountain climbers.
