Bukhansan National Park

The park spans 79.92 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, featuring granite peaks that reach heights of 836 meters above sea level.

The national park, established in 1983, contains ancient Buddhist temples and fortress remains that date back through centuries of Korean history.

Multiple Buddhist temples within the park boundaries serve as active places of worship and meditation for both religious practitioners and visitors.

The park entrance connects directly to Seoul's public transportation system, with information centers providing maps and guidance in multiple languages.

The park houses over 1,300 species of plants and animals, including rare golden eagles that nest among the granite peaks.
