Cheongwansan National Recreational Forest
Cheongwansan National Recreational Forest is located at the entrance of one of the five great mountains of the Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City region. Cheongwansan Mountain is a rocky mountain with steep peaks. Red camellia flowers bloom in spring, while in fall, silver grass blankets the area, creating a spectacular scene. The mountain peak offers an incredible ocean view due to the mountain's close location to the coast. To the south, the vast Dadohae Sea comes into view, and hikers may even get a glimpse of Hallasan Mountain from afar on a clear sunny day. A landscape of different mountain ridges can be seen to the north, namely Wolchulsan Mountain in Yeongam, Jeamsan Mountain in Jangheung, and Mudeungsan Mountain in Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City.
Cheongwansa Temple is located within a few hundred meters of the peak of the mountain. The recreational park is equipped with convenient facilities and a well-managed 7-kilometer-long hiking trail, serving as a great vacation spot for weekend getaways.
