Gyegok Garden Kkotgejang is a restaurant sought after by food enthusiasts nationwide, renowned as the first establishment in the country to patent gejang (marinated crab) cuisine. Originally selling dwaeji galbi (grilled pork galbi), the restaurant's main dish shifted to crab after its exceptional kkotge jang (soy sauce marinated crab) side dish garnered increasing attention from customers seeking gejang delicacies. The secret to its flavor lies in the authentic soy sauce, aged with 16 medicinal herbs, and the plump meat of female crabs. Customers can enjoy gejang with minimal fishy or salty taste, instead relishing in the rich and savory flavor of the crab.

The top of the mountain (329m in x_height) is called Munsubong (or Munsu Peak). To the northwest of the Huirisan Pine Tree Recreational Forest is Saindae. Legend goes that four generals used to play there. Indeed, there is a cliff (140m in x_height) just below Saindae where they were believed to do chin-ups. Naturally, people call the area Teokgeolijang (Chin-Up Spot). Traces of Munsusa Temple still remain below Munsubong although it was said to have been destroyed by a huge number of bedbugs. 500m from Munsubong to the south, horse riding trails of the four generals are dotted along the ridge; Malttongbawi (Horse Dung Rock), resembling horse droppings, is 500m from the peak to the southeast.

Below Munsubong are four large peaks where the four generals lived and 100 small rocks beneath them that were home to low ranking men commanded by the generals. Because of their unique shapes, those rocks form a scenic sight while hiking in Huirisan.
