The name of the mountain comes from the meaning of 'a mountain overlooking Jiri Mountain,' and is also called Jiri Mountain in the local area. You can see islands in the archipelago and the strange rock ridges are especially famous.
There are several ways to climb Jiimangsan Mountain, but the course that starts from Donjipogu, passes the summit and Oknyeobong Peak, and descends to Geumpyeong Port (Jinchon) is the best way to enjoy the true beauty of the mountain.
