MT. NAEJANGSAN NATIONAL PARK
Mt.Naejangsan is a famous mountain in the Jeolla-do province of Korea, and the best mountain in Korea for viewing autumn crimson leaves. Naejangsan National Park was designated as the 8th national park in Korea in 1971. It is one of the 5 characteristic mountains on southwest Korea, as well as one of the 8 most beautiful mountains in Korea.
Naejangsan was originally named “Yeongeunsan” after its main temple, Yeongeunsa, but was later changed to “Naejangsan”. The name Naejangsan means there are many hidden treasures in the mountain. The mountain is also referred to as "Geumgangsan of Honam(southwest)".
The park is beautiful not only in autumn, but also in spring when the azaleas and cherry blossoms bloom, in summer when the mountain turns fresh green, and winter when the unique rocks and cliffs covered with snow. All throughout the year the mountain shows an amazing scenery.
