I first noticed Jwaisan Mountain while driving around the base of it and looking up, thinking it would be an interesting one to hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time, I didn’t know Jwaisan Mountain has remains of a beacon station used during the Joseon Dynasty. It received a signal from Geoje and sent the signal to Sacheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main peak can be approached from three starting points. I chose to start from around Cheonglyong Temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Jwaisan<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As you approach the temple, the trail is to the right of the temple. It took me a few minutes to figure that out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this is the shortest of the three routes, there was not much to look at for much of the way up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Wooden<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At one point, the trail bends to the right, but a sign warns that it is a private area. So hikers need to take a smaller trail on the left around a metal pole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This narrower trail leads through a pine forest and up to a ridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Jwaisan peak is 0.2m to the left from the top of the ridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A glance to the right looked inviting, and I later went this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The peak is quite rocky and it sticks out to suit being used as a beacon station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Brown<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s always fun scrambling up the craggy peaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather was not bad for December 31, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wooden stairs are the last bit before reaching the beacon station at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Wooden<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s a nice view with all directions visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Old<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A little shelter sits on the remains of the beacon station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smoke-and-fire beacon system of communication was in use during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). Enemy invasions and other military events could be communicated this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To quote the signpost, the beacons “had five furnaces which were lit in a particular pattern to indicate the severity of the situation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Jwaisan<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This map shows Jwaisan mountain between Sacheon and Geoje. The signal was received from Geoje and sent to Sacheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I came across another beacon station while hiking Gujeolsan Mountain on the other side of Goseong’s town center..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many islands are visible from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\uc194\uc12c<\/a>, in the bottom left of the below photo, is a nice place to visit and is a popular place for photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Solseom<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A look in the direction of Sacheon (northwest) shows more mountains, one of which in the distance is probably the next beacon station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mountains<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The villages at the base of the near mountains are part of Hai-myeon in Goseong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A look in the direction of Namhae (southwest) shows the \uace0\uc131\uacf5\ub8e1\ubc15\ubb3c\uad00\uacfc<\/a> (blue arrow in the photo below) and \uc0c1\uc871\uc554\uad70\ub9bd\uacf5\uc6d0<\/a>, where there are dinosaur footprints in their original locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I chatted a little with the man at the top who was nice and pointed out some of the landmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On my way back, I decided to check out this little smaller peak because it was so close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Smaller<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The trees obstructed the view from here, but it was cool to look back at Jwaisan from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
