Gyeyangsan Mountain, which reaches an altitude of 395m, is considered a guardian
and holy mountain that is representative of Incheon. The mountain’s name changed
several times, according to the name changes of the region. It was previously
called "Sujuak" as part of the Suju-Dohobu administrative region of
the Goryeo Dynasty, "Annamsan Mountain" during Annam-Dohobu, and finally
was renamed "Gyeyangsan Mountain" during Gyeyang-Dohobu.Gyeyangsan’s
name originates from the area that is home to the Korean box tree, which produces
cassia bark used to make cinnamon. Gyeyang Park was designated as Incheon’s
first urban natural park on January 8, 1944, and since then, the mountain has
gone on to become the city’s top municipal park.
