Gongnyong Ridge in Seoraksan Mountain

The name refers to the ridge stretching from Madeungnyeong Pass to Sinseonam Hermitage. Straddling the divide between Yeongdong, the region east of the mountains, and Yeongseo, the region to the west, Gongnyong Ridge is prone to frequent cloud and its weather changes from moment to moment. It is the central ridge of Seoraksan, dividing Naeseorak, Inner Seorak, from Oeseorak, Outer Seorak. From here one can take in Gayadonggyegok Valley and Yongajangseong Ridge in Naeseorak at a glance, as well as a sweeping view stretching from Cheonbuldonggyegok Valley in Oeseorak all the way to the Donghae, the East Sea. Gongnyong Ridge, or "Dinosaur Ridge," takes its name from its shape, which looks as powerful and dynamic as a dinosaur surging upward. When wrapped in cloud, the ridge presents scenery of the utmost beauty, as if one were looking upon the realm of immortals. It is so beautiful, grand and mysterious that it was ranked first among the "100 Scenic Views of Korea's National Parks."
