Gongjaksan Mountain
Gongjaksan Mountain is a Korean mountain in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, named for its distinctive 'peacock' silhouette as seen from below. The mountain has hiking routes, summit views, and forested ridges with seasonal foliage. For travelers serious about Korean mountain hiking with photogenic silhouettes — the kind of mountain that gets named after its shape rather than just height — Gongjaksan is one of the cleaner specialty single picks. Best as a half-day to full-day hike with proper hiking gear.
