About Baegunsan(gwangyang)
Baegunsan in Gwangyang is the second highest mountain in South Jeolla after Nogodan, and completes the Honam ridge where it meets the Seomjin River.
Its draw is the view: Jirisan’s long ridge across the Seomjin to the north, the islands of the Hallyeo waterway to the south-east. The trails are easy, a university research forest covers the slopes, and some 900 rare plants grow here.
Clear water from old forest runs through four valleys — Seongbul, Donggok, Eochi and Geumcheon — popular in summer.
