Spring comes late to Mt. Taebaeksan, allowing us to enjoy spring flowers until early June. Wild flowers such as twin wind flowers, Gumgang violets and Taebaek violets fill us with wonder. The Azalea Festival is held annually.

In summer Mt. Taebaeksan is graced with cool wind blowing through dense stands of tree, and cool water flowing from its valleys - an ideal place to go to escape the summer heat.

Maple trees create elegant pastel colors. The simple beauty of yew trees combine with maples to make us to let out a cry of wonder.

Snow comes to Mt. Taebaeksan starting in late autumn. The snow-covered landscape, yew trees and Sanggodae on the summit together create an eyecatching view

Janggunbong, Janggunbong is the highest peak of Mt. Taebaeksan at 1,568m above sea level and is 300 meters north from the summit of Cheonjedan. At the top of the peak is the Janggundan that is made of natural quartzite. It is the mountain peak between the summit of Busoebong peak and Munsubong, and it is the start of the Sobaeksan (Mt.) of the Baekdudaegan that stretches southward. The mountain peak that stretches southward was an important transportation base for Gangwon-do and Gyeongsang-do since the Silla kingdom. Hadan is located here.

Munsubong, standing 1,519 meters above sea level, is comprised of tens of thousand rocks. The word 'Munsubong' originates from the fact that this was a place where Munsu Bodhisattva came into being. It was also called 'Wonsulbong', since the second son of General Kim Yu-sin, a famous general during the Silla kingdom , trained here.

This pond, located next to Manggyeongsa , is the highest in Korea. Located at 1,470 meters above sea level, this is a highland pond, and contains the coolest, tastiest water of all the 100 famous ponds in Korea. From old times, this water was used when praying to heaven.

On January 1st every year tourists gather here to view the sun rising over the East Sea against a background of mountains and clouds, and to offer their prayers for the coming year.

Yew trees with a life span of 1,000 years, and lasting another 1,000 years after death, are a representative tree of Mt. Taebaeksan, clad in green leaves throughout the year. They can be found in the vicinity of Gangunbong and Busobong.

Yongdam is located within Cheongwonsa at the entrance to the Provincial Park. There was a legend that long time ago three devoted sons lived with an old single mother. One day their mother became sick, was transformed into a snake, and almost died. The sons did their best to find a cure for her, but to no avail. One day, in a dream, the mother met a god and was told to go to a pond located on the ridge of Mt. Taebaeksan along the upper stream of the Nakdong River. The next day, a dragon horse awaited her at their gate, and took her to this pond. She entered the pond, and was transformed into a human dragon.
