Hiking Mt. Bulgapsan in Yeonggwang

#Hiking Bulgapsan is 516m high and its main peak is Yeonsilbong. Originally, it was called Moaksan, meaning 'mother of mountains' because the cozy shape of the mountain resembled a mother, but it is said that the name of the mountain was changed to Bulgapsan when Bulgapsa Temple was built during the Baekje period, taking its name from the Buddhist character '불(佛)' and the first character '갑(甲)' of the 60-year cycle. The forest is dense and the mountain has a cozy terrain, and rare plants such as zelkova and acacia trees form a native community. It is good for a quiet hike because there are not many people, and the beautiful autumn foliage is especially famous. On January 10, 2019, the Bulgapsan area, including Bulgap-myeon and Myoryang-myeon, was designated and announced as a provincial park. The hiking trail is quite simple, but since I mostly hike alone, I went up a hiking trail that seemed like it would get me to the summit faster, but I got lost. When hiking, let's only go up the summit hiking trail. #Glory #Bulgapsan
