Duryunsan Cable Car (두륜산케이블카)

88-45 Daeheungsa-gil, Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do

Duryunsan Mountain (700 meters) is a famous mountain in Jeollanam-do. With its eight peaks, it is home to many temples and historic sites. The mountain also holds great importance in plant chorology as its forests consist of warm-temperate broad-leaved evergreens and deciduous broad-leaved trees. The mountain peak can be reached by trekking for about 2-3 hours from the entrance of Daeheungsa Temple or by the Daeryunsan Cable Car (one way 8-minute), which departs from the entrance on the opposite side of the mountain and takes visitors to a spot right below the peak. From the mountain summit, there is a view of the southern sea and on a clear day, it is possible to see as far as Hallasan Mountain on Jeju Island. Nearby tourist attractions include Uhangri Dinosaur Museum Complex, Usuyeong Tourism Village and Ttangkkeut Village.

Duryunsan Provincial Park (두륜산도립공원)

400, Daeheungsa-gil, Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do

Containing many Buddhist temples and ruins as well as spectacular scenery, the 700 meter-tall Duryunsan Mountain is located at the southernmost point of the Korean peninsula. Forested by subtropical green broadleaf trees and temperate deciduous broadleaf trees, the mountain is valued highly for observing plant chorology. There are many fields of silver grass, and the summit of the park's eight peaks provide vistas of the western and southern sea. During the fifth year of King Jinheung's reign (514), the Buddhist monk Ado built Daedunsa Temple, which is a place of great historical value as it is also related to the Buddhist monk Seosan. The temple is built among dense woodlands, consisting of maple trees and camellias. Breathtaking scenery of valleys and luxuriant trees can be seen on both sides of the 2-kilometer-long road leading to the temple.
