Introduction

Bukhansan National Park is located in the districts of Gangbuk-gu, Dobong-gu, Eunpyeong-gu, Seongbuk-gu, Jongno-gu in Seoul, as well as Goyang-si, Yangju-si, and Uiwang-si in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. Designated on April 2, 1983, it covers a total area of 80 square kilometers. The most striking feature of Bukhansan is its steep curves formed by huge granite rocks. The rock peaks and valleys create a beautiful and captivating scenery. The park offers various peaks and abundant flora and fauna resources, including the 836.5m high Baegun Peak and the unique shape of Insubong Peak, making it worth a visit. The park also houses numerous historical and cultural heritage sites. The approximately 8,500m long fortress wall of Bukhansanseong, built during the Joseon Dynasty to defend against external enemies, is a must-see. The Cheonggye Temple and the Stone Buddha of Sakyamuni are also highly recommended attractions. Bukhansan offers unique beauty throughout the four seasons. In spring, flowers bloom all over the mountains, while summer offers the opportunity to enjoy lush forest scenery along clear streams. Autumn is a good time to visit Bukhansanseong, and in winter, visitors can enjoy the picturesque snowy mountain landscape. The park is known as one of the favorite places for residents of Seoul and receives up to 5 million visitors per year, earning it a place in the Guinness World Records as one of the "national parks with the highest number of visitors per unit area." Every weekend, Seoul residents flock to the park for leisure and recreation.
