| Description |
Mt. Songnisan National Park is composed of Mt. Songnisan and Hwayang, Seonyu,
and Ssanggok Valleys. Mt. Soknisan has the honor of being one of Korea’s most
beautiful sites. It starts from a southwesterly mountain branch from
Taebaeksanmaek and stands in the middle. The granite peak of the Mt.Songnisan
stand sharply against the sky, but Toejeokam is hewn deeply and makes a deep
contrasts between the peak and the valley. Mt. Songnisan is also called
Sogeumgangsan as well.
On Mt. songnisan is one of the largest temples in
Korea called Beopjusa Temple. At the temple, there is a Maaeyeoraeuisang carved
on a rock. Monk Uisang refers to a sitting Buddha statue, and a Maaeyeoraeuisang
describes the Buddha sitting on a lotus flower, which is the picture carved on
the rock. The years have damaged the picture quite a bit, but the original
picture can still be seen clearly. In any picture taken of Beopjusa Temple, one
object that always gets included is the Cheongdongmireukbul, which is the
largest of its kind in the world. Because Mt. Songnisan has such a great temple
in its midst, it possesses numerous treasures and National Monuments befitting
its 5,000 year history. Beopjusa Temple is the blossoming of a long history of
Buddhist culture developed on Mt. Songnisan.
Mt. Songnisan’s deep valleys
invite countless mountaineers and the many Natural Monuments has made it a major
tourist attraction. The mountain is beautiful all year round, with mountain
cherry blossoms in the spring, green pine forest in the summer, and the lovely
autumn leaves in the fall.
