Mount Geumryeon

As for the origin of Mount Geumryeon (golden-colored lotus) located at the altitude of 415 meters, some say that it was named so because it is lotus-shaped, and others say that it is due to golden-colored lotus presented to the Buddha as an offering.

As embankment remains where there were Banyaam and Baramil, it still has the vestiges of the old times when it was a celebrated mountain.
The peal of a bell generated from a Buddhist temple in Mount Geumryeon (Yeonsan Mojong) is highly acclaimed to be cited as one of the eight most beautiful attractions of Suyeong, and Mount Geumryeon boasting of Youth Training Center, mineral spring and such resting area as mountain-climbing paths is known to be one of the best tourist attractions that can contribute to promoting Suyeong as a blessed natural living place harmonized with mountains and the sea where vast spirit can be developed.
