Yongin City Installs 'Observation Desk' at the Summit of Sigungsan Mountain

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province, on the 25th, installed an observation deck at the summit of Sigungsan Mountain, the highest peak in the southern part of the city in Mook-ri, Idong-eup, Cheoin-gu, and also maintained the hiking trails.

Sigungsan Mountain, with an elevation of 514 meters, is located at the intersection of Mook-ri and Hwasan-ri in Idong-eup and Misan-ri in Yangseong-myeon, Anseong City. Nearby are the Catholic Mirinae Holy Site, where the tomb of Korea’s first priest Father Kim Dae-geon is located, and Aedeok Pass.

From the summit, you can see Seokseongsan Mountain in the city center, as well as Gwanggyosan Mountain in Suji-gu, Jeonggwangsan Mountain in Mohyeon-eup, and Idong Reservoir all at a glance.

The city installed stairs leading to the summit and a 112㎡ observation deck with a project budget of 170 million won since May, so that citizens can comfortably enjoy the natural features and cultural connections of Sigungsan Mountain.

Sigungsan Mountain is connected to a 20 km forest road between Mook-ri and Hakil-ri, and it can also be visited in conjunction with the nearby 'Youth Kim Dae-geon Trail' currently under development.

Baek Gun-gi, Mayor of Yongin, explained, "The Sigungsan observation deck was installed as part of transforming the pilgrimage route between Euni Holy Site and Mirinae Holy Site, a hidden asset of Yongin, and the forest resources in the Mook-ri area into a resting space."
