Geumjeongsan Mountain (Busan National Geopark) (금정산 (부산 국가지질공원))

Explanation

Geumjeongsan Mountain was created by an overflow of magma approximately 70 million years ago. Over time, rain and wind shaped the mountain to what it is now, with gentle slopes and unique rock formations. The mountain features various walking trails and historical attractions, such as Beomeosa Temple and Geumjeongsanseong Fortress.
