Yongmunsan Mountain Weather★ 100 Famous Peak

The hike begins at the commercial village in front of Yongmunsa Temple, which was designated as a national tourist site in 1982. When you reach the temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the ginkgo tree. It is a huge tree with a height of 60m and a chest circumference of 14m, harvesting 15 bags of ginkgo every year. When climbing along a jeolgol, choose the ridge path rather than the valley path. And we go as far as we can towards the top. People often get scared by the no-entry sign and turn away, but the real restricted area begins at around 1,100m, and even if you are caught by a guard, you only need to show your ID card. If you do it well, you can enjoy all the views except the west from the rock peak above the stone gate leading to the summit. When you cross the slope under the stone gate and reach Munryejae, you descend into Wonbaugol in the north-northwest. The Elephant flower field is right there. If you follow the Eobi Valley, you will reach Gailri, where Yumyeongsan Natural Recreation Forest is located.

There are buses to Yongmunsa Temple twice a day from East Seoul Terminal and Sangbong Terminal. For Gail-ri, use the famous hiking trail that runs eight times at Sangbong Terminal. Take New Country Road No. 6 and exit at Yongmun Interchange.
