About Biseulsan
Biseulsan rises south of Daegu between Dalseong and Cheongdo. Its highest peak was renamed Cheonwangbong in 2014; from Yugasa a great rock ridge seems to hold up the summit.
Steep slopes lead to flat tops at around 1,000 m, where some million square metres of Korean azaleas turn pink each spring. The Biseulsan boulder stream is the largest in Korea, and Daegyeonsa temple sits on the summit plateau.
Where granite Palgongsan is called the father mountain, gentle andesite Biseulsan is the mother.
