Is the name Bongnae, which means a phoenix descending, too much? The moment you climb up Bongnaesan Mountain and see the view, your doubts will fly away.
Climb up the steep slope between the bumpy rocks, and push through the watery fog to walk on the trail. Stop by the historic park that tells you about Yeongdo’s specialty crop, the Jonaegi sweet potato.
Reach the summit past the clouds hanging on the hillside to see the view where a phoenix roamed during the ancient times. No matter how exhausted you were until then, you’d immediately feel like everything was worth it. The top of Bongnaesan Mountain presents hikers with a vast and panoramic view of the ocean in all directions and the city.
