The facts
Juwangsan National Park was designated in 1976 and holds the title of the smallest national park in the country. It is one of only two national parks that sits on the east side of the central dividing range, the Baekdu-daegan, and is one of the most remote national parks in the country. Come autumn, hikers and nature lovers across the country head to this national park as there are trails for the avid hikers as well as scenic walking paths for the general strollers.
The name of the park is said to originate with the Chinese Jin Dynasty royal family. Wanting to reclaim his family’s thrown, Zhou Du, or Juwang in Korean, attempted to overthrow the Tang Emperor but failed. Defeated, Juwang, his forces and his family were driven out of China and into Korean’s Juwang mountains. Emperor Tang sought revenge for the attempt on his life and pressured the Shilla Dynasty to find and kill Juwang. General Ma of the Shilla army found and killed Juwang, beheading him and destroying his palace in the mountain, reads the Cheongsong guidebook.
