Mudeungsan (Korean: 무등산) is a mountain in South Korea. It extends over the district of Buk-gu in the city of Gwangju, as well as Hwasun County and Damyang County in the province of South Jeolla Province. Mudeungsan has an elevation of 1,187 m (3,894 ft)[2] and is a part of Mudeungsan National Park[1] which gained national park status in 2012.[3] The peak of Mudeungsan is named Cheonwang summit, but it has been designated as a protection zone for air force military installations. Therefore the highest spot the climbers can ascend without special permission is Seoseokdae Rock, with an elevation of 1,100 m (3,600 ft).[4]
Looking from the summit, Hallasan in Jeju Island and Geojedo in Namhae, South Gyeongsang Province can be seen.[5][relevant?]
