introduction
Mt. Taebaeksan shares its boundary with the following regions: Daehyeon-ri, Seokpo-myeon, Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do ; Mungoksodo-dong, Taebaek-si; and Cheonpyeong-ri, Sangdong-myeon, Yeongwol-gun, Gangwondo Province. Mt. Taebaeksan, 1,567 meters above sea level, is located between 128¡ã56¡äeast longitude and 37¡ã05¡änorth latitude. The water originating from this mountain forms the Nakdonggang, lifespring of the Yeongnam plain. It also forms the Hangang and Osip Stream, and thus serves as the nation's spiritual mountain, and a root for all mountains, located in the southern part of the Koran peninsula. Centering on Yeongbong where Cheonjedan is located, Mt. Taebaeksan is comprised of Janggunbong peak (1568 meters above sea level) in the north, Munsubong peak (1,517 meters above sea level) in the east and Busoebong peak (1,546 meters above sea level) in between. With fewer cliffs and smooth slopes, everybody regardless of age can easily climb Mt. Taebaek. On its summit grow a variety of wild edible vegetables, and in spring, full blossomed azaleas greet the climber. In summer, dense stands of green trees and cool, clean water in valleys carry visitors far away from the summer heat. In autumn, maple trees unveil their palate of colors, and in winter yew trees grace the snow-clad landscape. All in all, Mt. Taebaeksan is regarded as the nation's mother mountain, a place of beauty and tolerance. The sunrise and sunset as viewed from the summit of Mt. Taebaeksan is grandiose, making us to feel as if we were near to heaven. On top of that, when the air is clear, we can see as far as the East Sea. Yongjeong and Yongdam, the nation's finest ponds.

On May 13, 1989, Mt. Taebaeksan's 17.44 ? land area was designated as National Park. It provides accommodation including condominium-type lodging facilities, restaurants and picnic sites. It also houses the Coal Museum, where you can learn about the history of coal. In winter, a large-scale snow sledding site is prepared.
