Surisan, Nature reserve and mountain peak in Anyang-si, South Korea.

The 475-meter mountain features diverse trails through forests and rocky terrain, spanning across 36 square kilometers of protected natural landscape.

The mountain became a battlefield during the Korean War in February 1951, when United States forces and Turkish Brigade fought against Chinese forces.

Buddhist temples Sangyeon-sa, Yongjin-sa, and Suri-sa stand among the forested slopes, representing centuries of religious practice in the region.

Multiple entry points connect to public transportation, with hiking paths ranging from gentle walks to steep climbs through biotite schist formations.

The mountain's highest peak, Tae-Eul, creates a distinct eagle-shaped shadow during sunrise, visible against the surrounding Gwangju Mountain Range.
