Gajisan Provincial Park

Designated as a provincial park in November 1979, Gajisan Provincial Park (가지산도립공원) covers the Tongdosa Temple (통도사) area of Habuk-myeon, Yangsan; the Naewonsa Temple (내원사) area; and the Seoknamsa Temple area of Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan. Mt. Yeongchuksan, located in the Yangsan part of the park, is called ‘Korea’s Southeastern Alps’ for its superb scenery and naturally draws many hikers. The cool water flowing in the valley that runs down the mountain is another source that attracts hikers. Popular tourist attractions in the park include Mt. Cheonseongsan, Tongdosa Temple and Naewonsa Temple.
