Containing many Buddhist temples and ruins as well as spectacular scenery, the 700 meter-tall Duryunsan Mountain is located at the southernmost point of the Korean peninsula. Forested by subtropical green broadleaf trees and temperate deciduous broadleaf trees, the mountain is valued highly for observing plant chorology. There are many fields of silver grass, and the summit of the park's eight peaks provide vistas of the western and southern sea. During the fifth year of King Jinheung's reign (514), the Buddhist monk Ado built Daedunsa Temple, which is a place of great historical value as it is also related to the Buddhist monk Seosan. The temple is built among dense woodlands, consisting of maple trees and camellias. Breathtaking scenery of valleys and luxuriant trees can be seen on both sides of the 2-kilometer-long road leading to the temple.
