Jirisan National Park

A peak with a beautiful sunrise. The sunrise seen from Cheonwangbong Peak at 1,915m, which is open on all sides, is special. It is a famous place where the sun rises through the cold air of the clouds on the eastern horizon. There are many days when clouds are in the way, so the panorama of this beautiful sunrise is not easily observed. But it's definitely beautiful.
On a clear day, you can see the area of Sacheon-si and Jinju-si (about 30km away) and the southern sea from Cheonwangbong Peak, and you can also see Deogyusan Mountain (about 60km away) in the north. Especially when it gets dark at night, it is easier to visit Jinju City because of light pollution. On days when the air is really clean and clear, you can see Palgongsan Mountain in Daegu Metropolitan City, which is 100km away in a straight line. Likewise, on a clear day, you can see Jirisan Mountain if you go to the southern coastal area, Deogyusan Mountain, and Palgongsan Mountain.

From mid-October every year, Piagol Valley, the largest hardwood forest in Jirisan, is colored with autumn leaves. Unlike most other mountains, the color of autumn leaves here is subtle.

The highest peak on the west side of Jirisan Mountain's main ridge. You can see a spectacular view of clouds made from the Namhae Sea and Seomjingang River flowing between the ridges. The harmony of azaleas living on peaks and clouds is worth seeing.
The sea of clouds seen from here is famous. Nogodan Unhae is one of the 10 scenic views of Jiri, and it is also called Nogounhae.

The second highest peak (1732m) in Jirisan, is located on the west side of Jirisan, so it is a better to see the sunset than the sunrise. Watching the sunset from Banyabong Peak and watching Banyabong Peak & Sunset together on other nearby hiking trails are all included in 'Banya Sunset'. For the second case, it is recommended to reserve and watch accommodation at the hiking route with a shelter. Because descending after sunset is dangerous.
Banyabong Peak has frequent clouds, making it easier to see clouds than other areas of Jirisan Mountain. Nogodan (1,507m) is the most famous for the Unhae of Jirisan Mountain, but Banyabong Unhae is also quite famous. Since Banyabong Peak is 225m higher than Nogodan Peak, it is more advantageous to see the Unhae than Nogodan Peak. The reason why the sea of clouds is often formed in Banyabong Peak is because of the rising air flowing from the valley around Banyabong Peak. Since these ascending currents raise the water vapor in the valley below the mountain to form clouds, clouds often appear in Banyabong Peak. Banyabong Peak, where Unhae spreads out, is said to have a beautiful feeling like an ink-and-wash painting.

It is a place name given because the moonlight rising above the green forest looks very blue beyond white.
Byeoksoryeong Shelter, a national park shelter, is located in Byeoksoryeong, so you can stay there. Thanks to this, you don't have to go hiking at night to see Byeokso Myeongwol. In addition, Byeoksoryeong Pass is one of the major hubs of Jirisan Mountain's Jongju, so you can meet Byeoksomyeongwol if the date and weather match during the Jongju.

Se-seok. The habitat of the Royal Azaleas. This is one of the main habitats of royal azaleas, and you can see the wide stage of royal azaleas. The origin of the place name 'Seseok' is derived from the meaning of 'flat land with a lot of pebbles.' Seseok flat is a plateau of about 990,000 square meters located between Yeongsinbong Peak (1,652m) and Chotdaebong Peak (1,703m). This area is high above sea level. Therefore, the flowering season of royal azaleas here is from late May to early June. This is about a month later than flat land. Seseok Shelter the largest shelters among the national park shelters is located here. so many hikers (come on the main ridge of jirisan) visit this place for its convenience.

Mossy strange rocks and bizarre stones are developed, and the forest of dead trees filled in between creates a mysterious beauty.
