Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Mireuksan (458.4m) is a majestic mountain standing tall in the center of Mireukdo, south of Tongyeong-si. It is also called Yonghwasan, either because the ancient temple Yonghwasa is located on this mountain, or because this mountain is considered the Yonghwa Assembly where the future Buddha Maitreya will descend, hence the combined use of Mireuksan and Yonghwasan. On the slopes of Mireuksan, there are the ancient temple Yonghwasa, hermitages Gwaneumam and Dosolam, and Miraesa, the birthplace of the Hyobongmunjung. Although Mireuksan is not a very high mountain, it possesses all the virtues of a famous mountain, with clear streams flowing through dense forests and various oddly shaped rocks and caves. The ancient temples, mineral water, spring azaleas, and autumn foliage are outstanding, and from the summit, the view of the Hallyeohaesang archipelago is indescribably beautiful; on clear days, Japan's Tsushima Island can be seen.<br>Address: 115 Bongsudolsam-gil, Tongyeong-si, Gyeongsangnam-do
