"Excellent weather conditions for climbing."
Embracing fertile plains and highly picturesque valleys, Baekun Mountain (Gwangyang) (1222.2m) is truly magnificent in the entire landscape blazes with red maple leaves in October. Climbing past the tranquil temple courtyard leads to an immense view. A feast of bamboo tube rice with pan-fried flatbed cockles afterward completes the journey.
”Centered around the main peak, the mountain ranges of Ttoaribong, Dosolbong, Maebong, and Eokbulbong are magnificent and have beautiful scenery, and are home to a colony of silver grass and azaleas and 900 species of plants from the temperate and cold zones. They were selected in consideration of their scenic and ecological characteristics. There is a natural recreation forest, and Baekunsa Temple and Seongbulsa Temple are famous.
This is the easiest and most common course. You start by climbing up the ridge on the left from Jinteul Village, and soon you enter Byeongam Valley. As a mountain that boasts over 900 species of plants, the entire mountain is densely filled with rainwood trees, hornbeam trees, and bamboo trees. At the three-way intersection near the end of Byeongam Valley, there are separate paths leading up to Sinseonbong Peak and Namneung above the Northwestern Tomb. If you take the shortcut on the right and climb up to the south ridge, you will be right under the summit. If you climb up to the silkworm rock at the top, you can see not only Jiri Mountain, but also the Seomjingang River and the sea off Gwangyang. It must have been at this very spot, on the silkworm rock, that Joseon's mountain columnist(?) Lee Jung-hwan set the 'condition of prestige' for a famous mountain as "being next to a large sea or river." The actual descent begins at the second heliport after coming down the Namneung. After passing Sangbaekunam and Baekunsa Temple, the hike is almost over and a rock with a nice view appears, so I take a leisurely rest. From Baekunsa Temple, it is a paved road that is fine even at dusk.
