Buramsan

Buramsan (508m) is a mountain on the border between Nowon-gu, Seoul and Byeollae-myeon, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, neighboring Suraksan across Deokneung Pass. Although it is the lowest among the five mountains located on the Seoul city boundary, its summit is entirely composed of rocky terrain, offering magnificent views. The mountain is named Buramsan because its shape resembles a Buddha wearing a songnak (a traditional Korean hat), and it is also called Cheonbosan or Pilamsan. Since Buramsan is made of sandstone, its forests are not dense, but its long ridges provide refreshing scenery. In spring, azaleas bloom in full glory, evoking a flower garden. Along with Bukhansan, Dobongsan, Gwanaksan, and others, Buramsan is a mountain in the Seoul suburbs with good transportation, attracting many hikers.
