Chong-up-shi and Sunch'ang-gun, Chollabuk-do and Changsong-gun,
Chollanam-do
Mt. Naejangsan rises over a vast area and borders three counties of the Cholla
area. It was designated a National Park in 1971. As one of the eight greatest
tourist attractions in Korea,
the mountain is blessed with strange-shaped rocks,
imposing waterfalls, deep valleys, and, above all, gorgeous maple trees.
No other mountain on the peninsula attracts more tourists during the fall foliage
season than Mt. Naejangsan.
The Japanese nutmeg on the peak are particularly fantastic in winter, when the trees
are covered with snow.
The mountain has for years been under the strict control of the National Park
Management Corporation as part of its effort to preserve important natural assets.
