Taebaeksan is a sacred mountain of the nation standing at the center of the Baekdudaegan range, and is the root mountain that serves as the lifeblood of the Korean Peninsula south of the DMZ, from which the Han River, Nakdong River, and Oshipcheon River of Samcheok originate. Taebaeksan is centered around Yeongbong Peak (1,560m), which has the Cheonje Altar, and consists of Janggunbong Peak (1,567m) to the north, Munsubong Peak (1,517m) to the east, Busoebong Peak (1,546m) between Yeongbong and Munsubong, with the highest peak being Hambaksan (1,572m). Thirteen scenic resources including Hambaksan are distributed throughout the area, and a total of 2,637 wildlife species inhabit the region, including 22 endangered species such as foxes, Asian martens, and Eurasian hobby falcons, as well as 10 natural monuments (char, steller's sea eagle, etc.). Additionally, it includes 3 designated cultural heritage sites including the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Taebaeksan Cheonje Altar, making it an area of very high ecological, scenic, historical, and cultural value. Alpine plants naturally grow abundantly on the summit of Taebaeksan, and it is particularly famous as Korea's representative yew tree grove. In spring, clusters of alpine azaleas and rhododendrons greet hikers, in summer the lush forests and cool, pristine valley streams provide relief from the summer heat, in autumn it displays vibrant fall foliage, and in winter it shows the snow scenery of yew tree groves blanketed in white snow—a majestic and embracing upland mountain.
