About Chilgapsan
Chilgapsan in the middle of Cheongyang is not high, but it is the highest point for 20 km around, a famous mountain of peaks and valleys under natural forest. It became a provincial park in 1973.
Ridges radiate from the summit and mark the borders of three townships, and the streams run out in every direction like spokes.
