Piyan Mountain & Ilsongjeong
琵岩山 일송정
A spiritual landmark of the Korean ethnic group on the outskirts of Longjing City. The Ilsongjeong pavilion on the summit overlooks the Hailan River and the Pyeonggang plain, the scene celebrated in the Korean song 'The Pioneer'. Many Korean tourists visit.
Piyan Mountain lies southwest of Longjing City. It is named for its shape, which resembles a pipa (a Chinese lute). The Ilsongjeong pavilion on the summit and the winding Hailan River below are the images celebrated in the Korean song 'The Pioneer'. It is also a must-visit site for Korean tourists. A climb along the boardwalk to the top takes about 30 to 40 minutes. From the top you can look over the Hailan River, the city of Longjing, and the green rice paddies of the Pyeonggang oasis. Azaleas in spring and rice paddies in autumn are at their most beautiful. Check the official notice for admission. The drive from central Yanji takes about 40 minutes.
