PHOTOTPOST! Geumjong Mountain... again

Geumjong Mountain is a modest mountain range that runs north to south near my branch of Busan.  In fact, the mountain itself is about a 10 minute walk from my house!  Atop the mountian are the restored remains of an ancient Korean fort with a circular wall that runs across the top of the mountain for many miles.  This wall is much like Hadrian's wall near Scotland (similar in that it's at the top of a hill and therefore is only three feet tall) Nonetheless it's a neat experience that I as able to enjoy with my friends Kat and Rosie.  We hiked a signgifcant distance from Beomosa Temple up the mountain to the North Gate, and from there all the way to the cable car near Onchanjang.  Not sure how far that is in kilometers, but it took all afternoon and we barely made the last cable car off the mountain as dusk fell.  Aside from the fierce, biting winter winds at the top of the mountain, it was a gorgeous day for hiking and I greatly enjoyed exploring the paths along the fortress walls.  Take a look!

Rosie is a champion!

It's another epic hiking adventure!

Not the best night shot, but still had to capture a bit of the night's city lights!

All in all, a great day.  Can't wait to hike it again!  Though I'll be sure to dress more warmly next time!
