Gwanaksan, Mountain peak in Gwanak District, South Korea
The 632-meter Gwanaksan mountain stretches across Gwanak District, Geumcheon District, and neighboring cities of Anyang and Gwacheon in South Korea.
Gwanaksan, alongside Songaksan, Gamaksan, Uaksan, and Hwaaksan, represented one of the five principal mountain peaks of Gyeonggi Province in traditional Korean geography.
The Buddhist temple complex Yeonjuam, situated near the summit, includes the Yeonjudae temple built into the cliffside, demonstrating traditional Korean mountain architecture.
Three primary hiking trails lead to the summit, with routes starting from Seoul National University, Gwacheon Station, and Sadang Station, each requiring approximately two hours to ascend.
The mountain receives five million annual visitors, largely due to its integration with Seoul's public transportation system and designation as a city park since 1968.
