Yeongnam Alps

Yeongnam Alps is a name given to the mountains over 1,000m above sea level centered on Gajisan Mountain, formed at the border area of Ulsan, Miryang, Yangsan, Cheongdo, and Gyeongju, boasting beautiful mountain scenery and landscapes comparable to the Alps of Europe. Originally it refers to 7 mountains—Gajisan, Ganwolsan, Sinbulsan, Yeongchuksan, Cheonhwangsan, Jaeyaksan, and Goheonsan—but Unmunsan and Munboksan are sometimes included as well. Yeongnam Alps covers a total area of approximately 255㎢ and is a mountain tourism destination connected by 9 mountains including Sinbulsan, which is included in Korea's 100 Famous Mountains. It is famous for being beautiful in all four seasons, but in autumn, the mountains are filled with silver grass, creating a fantastic landscape that draws hikers from all over the country. It also has historical cultural heritage sites such as Tongdosa Temple, Unmunsa Temple, Seoknamsa Temple, and Pyochungsa Temple, and beautiful bizarre rocks and cliffs are in harmony. On Gajisan, about 760 species of plants and about 100 species of birds out of Korea's 450 total bird species live, so it is called a giant zoo and botanical garden created by nature.
