Samgak-san 삼각산 Seoul's Triple-Horn Northern Guardian in the Bukhan-san National Park |
View from the east (Ui-dong, the entranceway to Doseon-sa) in June 2006, with the air as clear as Seoul ever gets. Five peaks from L to R: Nojeok-bong (716m), Manggyeong-dae (800m), Baekun-dae (837m), Insu-bong (811m) and (closer) Yeong-bong (604m). |
View from the south -- from Bohyeon-bong Peak! -- including the Great South Gate [Daenam-mun] of the Bukhan-sanseong Fortress, in 1989. |
My faded photo of the view from the southeast, on my first hike here in September 1982. |
