Introduction
Mudeungsan is a national park in Buk-gu, Gwangju, famed for its bizarre columnar peaks known as Ipseokdae and its broad summit meadows. The rounded massif is said to lie like a reclining giant, giving the name 'Mudeung'; spring azaleas, autumn maples and winter snow each paint the slopes, making it Gwangju's favourite hiking and weekend escape. Ancient temples such as Jeungsimsa dot the mountain, with forest shade and streams along the trails, while a cable car eases the climb to sweeping city views where nature meets faith. Well-kept trails and hillside rest pavilions overlook the Gwangju basin, a favourite daily workout for locals.
