Sanbangsan

Sanbangsan Mountain rises 395 meters above sea level, forming a bell-shaped structure of trachytic tuff lava connected to the Yongmeori Coast sedimentary layer.

The volcanic formation emerged through intense geological activity between 700,000 and 800,000 years ago, creating distinctive columnar jointing stone structures on its southwestern slope.

The mountain houses Sanbanggul cave temple at 150 meters elevation, where Buddhist practitioners have conducted religious ceremonies since the Goryeo period.

Visitors can access the site from 9:00 to 17:30 in winter and 9:00 to 18:00 in summer, with designated parking facilities at 218-10 Sanbang-ro.

The mountain creates its own weather patterns, with clouds frequently gathering around its summit while maintaining different climate conditions between its upper and lower sections.
