Ulsanbawi, Protected rock formation in Seoraksan National Park, South Korea
Ulsanbawi consists of six granite peaks reaching 874 meters above sea level, with steep rock faces extending 200 meters upward from the base point.
The rock formation received official recognition as a South Korean scenic site in 2013, marking its status as a protected natural landmark within Gangwon Province.
Korean poets during the Joseon Dynasty incorporated Ulsanbawi into their works, with Yu Gyeong Si writing about the mountain landscape in 'On Mt. Cheonhu'.
Visitors access the formation through a marked trail that includes 888 steps, leading past two temples and the spherical Heundeulbawi rock en route.
The granite structure displays minimal degradation compared to surrounding formations, resulting from specific patterns of differential erosion and weathering processes.
