Mangusan Mountain (Seoul)

Mangwusan Mountain, with an elevation of 281.7 meters, is located across the districts of Mangwudong and Myondong in Seoul's Jungnang-gu, and the city of Guri in Gyeonggi Province. In the Mangwusan area, there is Manguri Park (formerly the Seoul Metropolitan City Cemetery), which was designated as a communal cemetery in 1933. This park is the final resting place for historical figures, including children's literature writer So Pa Jeong-hwan, independence activist and one of the 33 Korean independence leaders, Oh Se-chang and Han Yong-un, and physician and linguist Ji Seok-yeong, who promoted the "jongdu" method of sterilization.
Within the park, there are plaques commemorating figures such as the poet Park In-hwan, the historian Moon Il-pyung, the independence activist Yu Sang-gyu, and the medical and educational figure Oh Geun-seon, making it a living classroom for history. Furthermore, a 5.2 km walking path has been created, and in 1998, it was named "Path of Contemplation" through a public competition.
The area boasts cultural heritage, including the tomb of Sin Gyeong-jin, a scholar of the mid-Joseon Dynasty, known as "Geobukbi" (Turtle Inscription), which is designated as a Seoul City-designated cultural property. In addition, the park is well-equipped with amenities such as nature trails, pavilions, and drinking fountains, and its pleasant greenery and air make it a popular destination for citizens seeking relaxation and leisurely walks.
