Is Sirubong Peak at Gwanggyosan Summit Part of Suwon or Yongin? Yongin City Installs Photo Zone

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gwanggyosan is a representative mountain in the southern Gyeonggi region, spanning Yongin City and Suwon City. So, is the summit of Gwanggyosan, Sirubong Peak (elevation 582m), located in Suwon or Yongin? The answer is Yongin.

Yongin City announced on the 20th that it has clarified the administrative district (Suji-gu) of the summit area of Gwanggyosan and installed photo zones featuring Yongin City's character 'Joayang' at Sirubong and Suribong Peaks, allowing visitors to take commemorative photos linked with the excellent scenic resources.

The photo zones were created by combining a bench and a rectangular photo frame. On one side, Joayang sits cutely, allowing hikers to take commemorative photos with Joayang against the backdrop of the mountain summit.

The photo zones also feature inscriptions saying, "Right now, here, we are so glad to have come to our Gwanggyosan" (Sirubong) and "Right now, here, we are so glad to have come to our Suribong."

To install the photo zones, Suji-gu transported materials to Sirubong and Suribong using a helicopter on the 12th and completed the construction on the 15th.

An official from the district said, "We hope that the Joayang photo zones at Gwanggyosan's Sirubong and Suribong will become places where visitors can create unique memories," adding, "By next month, we will replace pergolas and benches to create resting spaces in the Gwanggyosan forest, and refurbish forest trails by installing deck stairs and safety ropes on the section from Seobong Temple Site to Sirubong, so that many people can safely visit Gwanggyosan."

On clear days, from Sirubong, visitors can see nearby Cheonggyesan and Gwanaksan Mountains, as well as distant landmarks such as Namsan in Seoul, Bukhansan, and Dobongsan Mountains.

Suribong is a hidden rocky peak of Gwanggyosan, located on the way from Sirubong towards Suji-gu. It offers a wider panoramic view than Sirubong, with open views in all directions.
