Hiking is Korea's favorite hobby. Every weekend the mountains are packed with bus loads of Koreans young and old eager to conquer the nearby peaks. The past two weeks I was able to visit two mountains near to Daejeon: Gyeoryongsan and Bomunsan. "San" in Korean is "mountain."
Here are some photos of my trek to the top of Gyeoryongsan:

Here are some pictures from Bomunsan. It is very close to my house. I hiked this mountain after school on Tuesday, May 3rd. At the top there is an old fortress from the Baekje dynasty (circa 600AD), as well as a Buddhist rock engraving nearby (circa ~ 900-1300 AD).
The first of the three shot panorama of my part of Old Downtown Dajeon.
Fortress walls remained in perfect condition after all of these years.
