Featuring the highest peak, Sanghwangbong, Mt. Gayasan is composed of many peaks each over 1,000m connected together like a scroll painting. It was one of the eight most beautiful sceneries for the Joseon people. From the Taebaek Mountains, the Gayasan Mountains spreads from east to west. In 1972, it was designated as National Park No.9 due to its beautiful features.
Gayasan has many famous tourist spots. Especially Haeinsa Temple, which is in the southwestern part of Gayasan. It is one of the three most famous temples in Korea. It possesses the Tripitaka Koreana (National Treasure No.32), which consists of over eighty thousand blocks. The place makes for fantastic scenery with the old temple and the beautiful landscape.
In addition, there are other cultural properties such as Jangkyunggak (National Treasure No.52), Stone Buddha Figure (Treasure No. 518) Banya Temple Gyeongwangsa Monument (Treasure No.128) which was designated as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.
Moreover, Gayasan is noted for its graceful mountain landscape. The water flowing from Gayasan valley meets in front of Haeinsa Temple and flows to the southeast where it forms Gayacheon stream. Among the many valleys, Hongryudong valley (its water seems to turn red because of the leaves' autumnal tints) finishes the grandeur scenery with the several thousand year-old pine tree. Namsanjeil-bong, a peak located in southern part of Hongryudong, is called Mt. Cheonbulsan among Buddhists because it seems like thousands of Buddhist statues cover the mountain ridge. Mt. Cheonbulsan is a favorite one-day mountain climbing course for many.
Gayasan shows magnificent landscapes every season with the cherry blossoms, azaleas and royal azaleas lined up on the road to Haeinsa Temple in Spring, the clean water and green trees in Summer, the glorious tints of its autumn foliage along the rock ridges in Autumn and a snowy landscape in Winter.
