Jujaksan (Korean: 주작산; Hanja: 朱雀山; lit. Vermilion Bird mountain) is a mountain of South Jeolla Province, South Korea. It has an elevation of 475 metres.[1] It is part of a range that runs from Gangjin County.[2][3]
The mountain is named for the Vermilion Bird, a red phoenix deity, which it is said to resemble when viewed from a distance.[4][5] The highest peak is said to be the bird's head, turned to the west.[5][6] It is popular as a tourist attraction for its azalea flower blooms from April[4][2] to May.[3] These flowers are cared for by Gangjin County.[3] There are a number of hiking trails, ranging from 3 hours to 6 hours, and a parking lot for visitors.[5] Hikes on it are said to be challenging, with steep surfaces and sharp rocks.[2] Bouldering has been practiced on the mountain.[7] A forest on the mountain (주작산 자연휴양림) has 45 guestrooms and 16 campsites.[8] The county has invested in such facilities, as well as hiking trails and flowers, to boost tourism in the area.[9]
The rocks on the mountain are sedimentary, volcanic, and metamorphic rocks, and were formed around the Paleozoic.[7]
