From Bibong Peak in Bukhansan National Park, you are greeted with stunning panoramic views of Seoul and its surrounding mountains. The city's skyline, with its modern high-rise buildings, contrasts beautifully with the lush greenery of Bukhansan's rugged landscape. This vantage point is a favorite among hikers for its breathtaking scenery.

At the summit stands a replica of the Jinheung Stele (순수비), originally erected by King Jinheung of the Silla Dynasty to commemorate his territorial conquests. The original stele, once located at this site, has been moved to the National Museum of Korea for preservation, while the replica now stands in its place. The monument serves as a reminder of Korea's rich historical heritage amidst the natural beauty of Bukhansan.
