Maisan Mountain Weather

[A horse ear-shaped tower rises like a mirage] It would be more correct to call it a tower rather than a mountain. It completely matches the English tower. Ammaisan Mountain on the west peak and Sutmaisan Mountain on the east peak stand side by side, and their appearance looks exactly like a horse's ears. Because there are no high mountains to the north or south, it is even more spectacular, and the reflections on the waters of Jinan Space and Sayangje are especially fantastic. It is also famous for its Tafoni terrain. The surface of the rock is dented as if it had been bombed, and it is said to be the largest in inland South Korea. The main ingredient, conglomerate, was broken down from the inside due to weathering. During the Silla Dynasty, it was Idu Seodasan (西多山), which was close to 'Seodasan', and during the Goryeo Dynasty, it was Yongchulsan (聳出山), which means 'rising dragon', and was called Maisan since the Joseon Dynasty. It also varies depending on the season. In the spring, it is called Mastdaebong because the peak rising like a mirage in the fog looks like a double mast; in the summer, it is called Yonggakbong because the peak towering above the mountain looks like a dragon's horn; in fall, when the leaves show up, it is called Maibong; and in winter, when there is no snow, it is called Munpilbong because it looks like the tip of a brush with ink. At Tapsa Temple, located between the two Maisan Mountains, about 80 artificial pagodas form a forest. The natural stone wall, which has a circumference of 20 meters and a height of 15 meters, has not collapsed for over 140 years.
