Hwawangsan, Mountain peak in Changnyeong County, South Korea.
Hwawangsan rises to an elevation of 757 meters, featuring stone steps and hiking trails through dense forests of pine trees in South Gyeongsang Province.
The mountain fortress Hwawangsanseong, constructed at the summit, stands as a testament to the military significance of this strategic location in Korean history.
The name derives from Korean words meaning fire and vigorous, reflecting traditional fire festivals that occurred annually on January 15 at this location.
Multiple hiking paths of varying difficulty levels lead to the summit, with the main trail beginning near Changnyeong town and offering clear signage throughout.
