“
Inheriting the grand spirit of Gyeongsang region, Hwawangsan Mountain (757.7m) is an awesome destination in golden silver grass waves in the autumn breeze in October. After dominating the horizon from the summit, a satisfying bowl of hot pork soup and grilled beef patties in the bustling market alley completes this majestic climb.
”Mountain Features & Selection Reason
It was selected in consideration of its beautiful scenery, including silver grass fields and azalea colonies, Hwawangsanseong Fortress and Mokmasanseong Fortress, and the fact that it is a county park. Every year on the first full moon of the year, a moon viewing event is held at the Silver Grass Pyeongjeon near the summit. There are three crater ponds on the summit created by volcanic activity. The Songhyeon-dong Ancient Tombs and Gwanryongsa Temple, which contain four treasures, including a seated stone Buddha and a main hall, are famous.
Climbing Points & Features
[Spring Azalea, Fall Silver Grass Feast Mountain] It is a mountain in Changnyeong-eup and forms Hwawangsan County Park along with Gwanryongsan Mountain. When you think of Hwawangsan Mountain, silver grass comes to mind, so it is synonymous with silver grass. A 10-mile silver grass field on a 60,000-pyeong plain. The size of silver grass far exceeds the height of a person. It takes about an hour to go around this. In the fall, the country's largest night festival takes place here. More than 10,000 people from all over the country gather to hold a mountain spirit ceremony, a memorial service for righteous soldiers, and a torchlight parade to pray for unification, creating a spectacular spectacle. Hwawangsan Mountain is also a famous mountain for azaleas. Rhododendrons grow along the 6.5km ridge hiking trail leading to the summit of Gwanryongsan Mountain.
If you just climb Hwawangsan Mountain and come back down, it usually takes 3 hours. If you plan to climb Hwawangsan Mountain and descend to Gwanryongsan Mountain, the starting point will be Changnyeong Girls' High School, which is a 20-minute walk from the intercity bus terminal. In the opposite case, Gwanryongsa Temple in Okcheon-ri will be the starting point. However, since city buses only run six times a day from Changnyeong to Gwanryongsa Temple, it is convenient to use Gwanryongsa Temple as the starting point if you are planning a long hike. The road from Gwanryongsa Temple to Gwanryongsan Mountain via Cheongnyongam is steep and breathtaking. There is a heliport at the top of Gwanryongsan Mountain, and it is an easy ridge course to get to Hwawangsan Mountain from here. The summit of Hwawangsan Mountain must be climbed from the south gate to the northwest.
