About Jaeyaksan
Jaeyaksan stands between Miryang and Ulju in the Yeongnam Alps. Pyochungsa, a major temple, lies at its western foot with hermitages around it.
Its silver grass on Sajapyeong is the eighth of Miryang’s Eight Views and a classic autumn walk, and the mountain holds Korea’s largest high-mountain wetland.
Its peak Sumibong links to Gwaneumbong, Munsubong and across Sajapyeong to Hyangnobong.
