Yudalsan Mountain
유달산
A famous 228-metre mountain in the port city, with jagged rock formations; from the summit's First Rock you can overlook old Mokpo, the harbour and the island-dotted sea.
Yudalsan is known as Mokpo's 'sacred mountain'. Though only 228 metres high, its rock peaks are steep and its trails rise and fall. On the lower slopes are Nojeokbong, the Yudalsan Sculpture Park and several pavilions. From the Nojeokbong entrance at the foot, the climb to First Rock takes about an hour. Along the way you can look down on the old town's rooftops, Mokpo Port, the Mokpo Bridge and the islands scattered across the sea. The sunset here is especially spectacular in the evening. Cherry blossoms and azaleas bloom in spring. Entry is free, and to reduce the climb you can take the sea cable car and get off at Yudalsan Station.
