“Find your second home here” a phrase often whispered by the wind rustling through Bukhansan’s peaks. I would like to welcome you to the Bukhansanhyeondae Mountain Villa.

Mountains are intrinsic to the Korean identity. For centuries, people carved out lives from the granite under the shadows of ancient ranges. These ranges include Taebaek, Gwangjoo, Noryong and Sobaek. They acted as natural defenses and internal boundaries.
Korean mythology teaches that Dangun was born on Mt. Paektu. He was the founder of Gojoseon, the first Korean kingdom. Traditional Korean shamanism revered mountain spirits. Exploring Korea’s mountains reveals Buddhist temples nestled in foothills. Throughout history mountains have been symbols of defense. They were strongholds and shrines.
The peaks near Seoul are perfect for hiking and rock climbing. Many are steep granite slabs. Because Korea’s populated lowland rests near sea level the peaks are prominent. Some Korean climbs make hikers ascend thousands of feet in a day. South Korea has preserved its popular peaks as national parks. You can hear the word ending “san” in their names. These include Jirisan, Seoraksan, Hallasan, Odaesan, Bukhansan, Woraksan, and Taebaeksan.
