Writer's Thoughts
“
Embracing fertile plains and highly picturesque valleys, Palyeongsan Mountain (606.9m) is truly magnificent in cherry blossoms and flower petals rain down in April. Climbing past the tranquil temple courtyard leads to an immense view. A feast of Jeolla-style mountain vegetable bibimbap and freshwater crab soup afterward completes the journey.
”Mountain Features & Selection Reason
It was selected in consideration of the fact that it has a rugged mountainous terrain with eight rocky peaks, many strangely shaped rocks, good views, and was designated as a provincial park (1998). It is home to Neungseongsa Temple, which was once considered one of the four major temples in the Honam region along with Hwaeomsa Temple, Songgwangsa Temple, and Daeheungsa Temple. There is Sinseondae, Gangsan Falls, and a natural recreation forest. The view is so good that you can see Tsushima Island from the top.
Climbing Points & Features
[Beautiful yet majestic Mount Bagudari] It is a mountain that boasts breathtaking beauty. Among the mountains with the letter 'eight', there is no peak that is not outstanding, but Palbongsan Mountain in Hongcheon or Seosan is small and lacks grandeur, but this highest peak in Goheung, with eight peaks at a height of 600 meters, is not only outstanding but also majestic. The composition is also perfect as the northeast ridge of peak 2 and the south ridge of peak 8 are balanced on both shoulders and are guarded by the triangular horned Cheonjubong Peak in front. Even though it is one of the furthest mountains in the Gyeongin region, this is why people constantly visit it. In Goheung-gun, a stone plaque was erected at peak 1 as Yuyeongbong, peak 2 Seongjubong, peak 3 Saenghwangbong, peak 4 Sajabong, peak 5 Orobong, peak 6 Durubong, peak 7 Chilseongbong, and peak 8 Jeokchibong. As can be seen from the correlation between the order and name, it is quite artificial. Originally, only one peak, which was a bit far away, had a name, and the rest were grouped together and named Seongjubong (聖主峯). The foreground photography point is Moryong-ri, where Jeomammyeonso is located. The Jeom-am means that there are dots of rocks that the people of Goheung call “Bagu,” and there is no other landform like this in Jeom-am-myeon other than Palyeong Mountain. And in Moryong-ri, there is an accounting village, which is called “Bagudari” in Korean. The original name of Palyeongsan was Bagudarimyeon or Bagudarisan. The valley was not very developed due to the predominant rise. Instead, there is the sea. Because it is a mountain in Goheung, a sweet potato-shaped peninsula attached to the land, a lake-like sea spreads out in all directions.
This is the route that most hikers take. You have to go all the way to Sangbong and Gitdaebong peaks, but since the mountain is quite far away and there is even a wireless transmission tower, you just end up returning from peak 8. Deulmeori is to the left of Neopsa Temple. If you follow the new road paved with persimmon stones, a communal kitchen will appear in the pine forest. Then, as the view opens up, a wide field spreads out, and Palyeong Mountain Lodge can be seen in the distance. After passing Palyeongsanjang, there is a valley road. If it is not very dry, you can draw water from the Gaji Valley that crosses the hiking trail. The road up to Heungbawi Rock is as good as if the grass had been cleared. Peak 1 is located right above the rock. Since it is a returning peak, I am in a hurry to get to the second peak, so I try to find a way to the top. It is a flat rock at the top, so it is perfect for mountain ancestral rites. Peak 6 at the end of the long wire ladder is the highlight, so if you don't have time, descend at the intersection between peak 7. However, to see Haechang Bay in the southern sea, you have to go to Peak 8. The descent begins with climbing the mountainside to Mount Sanjang. From Mountsan, go down the valley road.
