Juwangsan

Juwangsan rises 721 meters above sea level, featuring dramatic granite cliffs, dense forests, and multiple waterfalls within its 107 square kilometer territory.

The mountain received its name from a Chinese rebel leader known as King Ju, who found refuge in these peaks before meeting his end there.

The Royal Azalea Festival takes place annually during the first week of May, celebrating the mountain's native flowers and regional traditions.

The national park contains numerous marked hiking trails, information centers, rest areas, and parking facilities to accommodate visitors throughout the year.

The mountain's geological structure emerged from volcanic activity 70 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, creating smooth rock formations from lava flows.
