About 20 years have passed since I first visited 속리산, Songnisan, Mt. Songni . The mountain range and Beopjusa temple at the foot of the mountain were the same as before. 속리 Songni means “leaving the worldly life.” The name of this mountain was originated from the story of a Buddhist monk who entered this mountain for practicing meditation about 1200 years ago.
Autumn is coming to Songnisan National Park. As the autumn wears on, the maple leaves turn pale yellow or soft gold and eventually red.
