Inside the Samgaksan (Bukhansan) (Mt.) national park, there are lots of clean valleys among major rock peaks made of granite.  It gives a beautiful view, and there live over 10,300 species of animals and plants inside.  Also, it offers various historical and cultural relics including Bukhansanseong (Fortress) which has the history of 2,000 years since the era of 3 States and over 100 temples and shrines.  It provides various views and places to learn ecology, culture and history.  Samgaksan (Bukhansan) (Mt.) has various flowers blooming one after another in spring time, making it a land of fairy tales.  There cannot be any other paradise when you are resting upon a valley with thick forests and clean waters in summer.  In autumn, when you are following the road next to Bukhansanseong, Historic Relics No. 162, you can feel the solitude of the autumn itself.  And in winter, the snow covered Insubong (Peak), Baegundae, and Mangyeongdae will give you the mystic taste of purity and divine nature.
