Ganghwa Manisan Mountain (Ganghwa Section) (마니산 (강화))
Summary
Manisan Mountain is located on the southern end of Ganghwado Island, at the mid-point of the Korean Peninsula between Hallsan Mountain and Baekdusan Mountain. At the top of Manisan Mountain is Chamseongdan Altar, known to have been used by Dangun to hold sacred rituals. The 1988 Paralympics torch was lit at the top of the mountain as well as the torch for the Korea national sports games each year. If you walk up the trail with 918 stone steps, an amazing view of the west sea and Jeongsusa Temple to the east can be seen. The pine tree forest full of phytoncide is perfect for hikers to relieve their stress.
