Jangsan

As


I mentioned in a previous post, I live just outside the Jangsan subway station. The station is named for the eponymous nearby mountain. San is Korean for "mountain" and jang is Korean for "really awesome". It is about a half hour walk to the park at the base of the mountain and maybe a 2-3 hour hike to the top. The first time I tried to climb it was when my mom and sister visited. It was really hot and humid and we didn't bring enough water so we had to climb back down before we were able to reach the summit. We did get far enough to have an amazing view of the sea and my neighborhood, but at the top you can see over to the other side of the mountain and look at the expansive city of Busan surrounded by mountains in addition to the previously mentioned vista of the sea.















































As you can tell from the pictures, the top of the mountain is a great place to take grad photos.
