View original description
Gwanggyosan Mountain straddles the cities of Suwon and Yongin. Its summit, Shirubong Peak, stands at 852 meters above sea level. The mountain is located in a plain area with no large mountains around it, and the ridges are very gentle and lush with trees in all directions, so many people visit for forest bathing and hiking. Its winter snowscapes are particularly renowned. Notable cultural assets include the tomb and monument of General Kim Joon Ryong, built to commemorate his great victory during the Qing invasion of Joseon, and the tomb of Sim On who served as a civil minister in Joseon dynasty.
