Biseulsan
비슬산
A famous 1,084-meter mountain in southern Daegu; around Cheonwangbong Peak, a vast wild azalea grove blooms in late April and is considered one of Korea's most beautiful azalea groves.
Biseulsan is located in Dalseong County in southern Daegu. Its main peak, Cheonwangbong, is about 1,084 meters high, and the summit area has a wild azalea grove of about 300,000 pyeong. Every year in mid to late April, when the flowers bloom, the mountainside turns pink and an azalea festival is held. In autumn there are miscanthus fields and red leaves. At the foot of the mountain stand Yugasa Temple and Daegyeonsa Temple, both founded in the Silla period. The cliff viewing platform at Daegyeonsa is famous for its mountain views and sunsets. During the blooming season, you can take the park's electric shuttle (for a fee) from Biseulsan Natural Recreation Forest up near the summit to avoid a long climb. Getting there: take Subway Line 1 to Daegok Station and transfer to a bus for about 1 hour, or drive about 50 minutes.
