Located in extension of the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range, Jangansan Mountain is one of the eight tallest mountains in the country and occupies the largest area among them. It is also the stem of Noryeong Mountains. There are 26 large and small valleys including the Deoksan Valley, seven ponds, including upper and lower Yongso, rocks of fantastic shapes including Jiso Foundation, and five mineral springs. While the scenery blends in with the lush forests to create a splendid view, autumn leaves are also beyond comparison. Muryonggungjae (Muryong Hills) is a hill at the beginning of Jangansan Mountain. As local roads are now opened, transportation is very convenient. Muryong means ‘a dragon is dancing’ and for Taoists, it means that the flow of mountains has a shape of wriggling movement as if a dragon is dancing.
