Caption / Description:

Looking south across Soraksan (설악산) from Gwongeumseong (권금성), in Seoraksan National Park (설악산국립공원), South Korea. The area is reachable by both cable-car or a 2.5km hike up the mountain, and is a popular tourist attraction in Seoraksan Park.

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoraksan_National_Park):
The nature reserve protects an area of 163.6 square kilometers and contains many notable high peaks measuring over 1,200 meters above sea level including the highest peak of Soraksan, Daecheongbong, which has an altitude of 1,708 meters. The nature reserve contains mountain ranges of dissected granite and gneiss and is characterized by spectacular rocky hills and ridges. The magnificent natural beauty of Soraksan and the mountain ridges is due to these geographical features.
