Looking northwest down to the valley below from Gwongeumseong (권금성), on Mount Sorak (설악산), in Seoraksan National Park (설악산국립공원), South Korea.
The peak of Gwongeumseong is 850m above sea level, according to local legend two strong men, Mr Gwon and Mr Kim, built a castle here overnight to fight off enemies when a war broke out.
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. - Tags / Keywords:
