Most people are unaware of this place as it is partially blocked by rocks and trees. It is only when you climb up this valley that you can experience the breathtaking view of the Dragon Gate Cave and the scenery surrounding Mt. Daedun.
The peak is so tight that when one person kneels down, there is barely any space left. Therefore, it is very dangerous for two people to climb up together. If one falls, it would be a 100m drop. You would likely lose your balance and fall off, especially in times of typhoon. Therefore, like an abalone stuck to a rock, you would need to sit on the boulder while gripping tightly.
From the peak, there is a beautiful view of the Dragon Gate Cave precipice, Seven Stars Peak, Taigu Temple Peak, and the boulders of the other peaks.
In the Dragon Gate Cave also lies a tree that has withstood the test of time, thus the name ‘Thousand Year Pine Tree’. This tree is a masterpiece of nature. However, because the route to the peak is too dangerous, it later became out of bounds. Before it was made out of bounds, and before Mt. Daedun became a tourist attraction, I visited frequently.
To get to the peak, you would have to climb a vertical rock cliff that is over a 100m high. Even if you could climb well, you would still feel fearful, because you’ll have climb the boulders, with only your bare hands, without any support. It is the most dangerous part when ascending the peak.
