Bukhansan, Mountain peak in northern Seoul, South Korea.
Bukhansan reaches an elevation of 836 meters with three granite peaks: Baegundae, Insubong, and Mangyeongdae, forming a natural boundary north of Seoul.
During the Joseon Dynasty, Bukhansan marked the northern limits of Seoul and contained fortifications to protect the capital from external threats.
The mountain's original name, Samgaksan, means three-horned mountain in Korean, reflecting the three distinct summits that define its silhouette.
The national park operates from 4:00 AM to 5:00 PM in summer and 4:00 AM to 4:00 PM in winter, with multiple entrance points accessible by public transportation.
The mountain hosts 3,100 plant and animal species while holding the Guinness World Record for most visited national park per unit area.
