Inheriting the grand spirit of Gyeongsang region, Hwangseoksan Mountain (1192.5m) 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.
”It was selected for its beautiful scenery, including a vast silver grass field on the ridge leading from Geomang to Hwangseok, and the presence of historical relics such as Hwangseoksanseong Fortress. During the Jeongyujaeran, people who resisted the Japanese army to the end died when the fortress collapsed, and women threw themselves off the cliffs of Cheongil. There is a legend that the rocky cliffs on the north side of Hwangseoksan Mountain are the color of blood.
The hike begins from the entrance to Yudong Village, 500 meters in front of the Yongchu Valley ticket office. If you climb to the top of Hwangseoksan Mountain, the view is good.
