El monte Sobaeksan es una extensión de la cordillera Taebaek Sanmaek, la cual se puede referirse como la columna vertebral de Corea. El monte Sobaeksan fue designado como Parque Nacional N° 18 en 1987. La superficie total de este parque es de 320.50 km². En su pico más alto, llamado Birobong, hay muchas flores silvestres y azaleas.

La ladera oeste del monte Sobaeksan es empinada y los arroyos nacientes del río Nakdonggang fluyen hacia el río Jukgyaecheon, que muchas veces marcan el recorrido para escalar la montaña. Desde Birobong, siguiendo por Jukgyaecheon, podrá entrar a la mina Soekryun. Siguiendo el recorrido, se encontrará con el templo Choamsa, descendiendo un poco más, llegará a las cascadas Seokcheon y el templo Seongyeolsa. En este valle, también podrá ver la trucha de montaña, que solo habita en aguas cristalinas.

A 4 km. hacia el sudoeste de Birobong hay una camino llano que lo lleva a Yeonhwabong. Unos 4 km hacia el sur de esta montaña se encuentra un alto valle llamado Juknyeong. En el este de Yeonhwabong del monte Sobaeksan se pueden encontrar los antiguos templos Huibansa y Birosa de la época de Silla. En la entrada del templo Huibangsa, se encuentran las cascadas Huibang, que son consideradas las más hermosas de la provincia de Gyeongsangnam-do.

Debido a la cordillera y los valles, el Parque Nacional del Monte Sobaeksan posee un fantástico paisaje y es conocido por ser el hábitat de muchísimos animales, plantas y árboles.

Aquí fue la residencia temporal de este monje mientras buscaba el lugar para fundar el templo Buseoksa. Después de la fundación de Buseoksa, el monje regresó para construir otro templo que actualmente es Choamsa. Por los grandes muros y gigantes piedras de base, se cree que antes era un gran complejo habitado por muchos monjes y con importantes tesoros.

Ongyejongtaek Sambaekdang is a hanok restored on the site where Ongye Yihae, older brother of Toegye Yi Hwang, used to live. Being the headquarters of the rightoue army against the Japanese, the house was burned by the Japanese military authority in 1896 but restored with support from the government and others, and it was finally completed in May 2011. It is the 500-year old chestnut tree, symbol of the village, which welcomes guests first. The house itself is not old but the atmosphere of the family dominates the building with dignity. Small decorations such as a wooden table, floor cushions, and mother-of-pearl furniture pieces are all nice to look at. There are 7 rooms altogether with bathrooms or air conditioners depending on the room size. There are a shared shower facility and a laundromat outside the rooms, with shared kitchen, warehouse, and a big floor. Cooking is not allowed in the rooms but outdoor barbecue facilities are available for a group of 10 or more who inquire in advance. Tea ware pouch making or Hanji craft programs are conducted based on the reservation at a charge. In the village where the house is located, there are several historic and natural sites such as Nosongjeongjongtaek where Toegye Yihwang was born, Nongamjongtaek, Toegyejongtaek, Dosanseowon Confucian Academy, Advanced Center for Korean Studies, Cheongryangsa Temple, and Dosan Spa.

Nosongjeong, also called the “Placenta Chamber of Yi Hwang” (pen-name: Toegye, 1501-1570), is named after the pen-name ‘Nosong’ of Yi Hwang’s grandfather Yi Gye-yang. It is said that Yi Gye-yang abandoned his government position after he fell victim to the Gyeyujeongnan Suppression (a coup d’état instigated by Suyang Prince, who became King Sejo of Joseon, in 1455) and returned to his hometown in Bonghwa, where he devoted himself to teaching students. He built the house in its current location by a coincidence of saving a monk. The Placenta Chamber of Yi Hwang, which is situated deep in the house, consists of an Ondol (Korean floor heating) Room and a small numaru (upper floor) with a unique design. The gate bears a signboard with the word ‘Seonglimmun’ written by Hakbong Kim Seong-il (a direct disciple of Yi Hwang), which derives from the fact that the mother of Yi Hwang, Chuncheon Park, had a conception dream about Confucius entering the main gate with his disciples. Nosongjeong has an Ondol room in the west, with a numaru and a maru (wooden floor) in the east, which could accommodate 20 to 30 students. The signboard of Noseongjeong is believed to have been written by Han Seok-bong (a leading calligrapher of the mid-Joseon period). The structure of Nosongjeong is considered an invaluable resource for studies on the principles of building a half-hipped roof. The shrine is situated east of Nosongjeong, between which there was a juniper aged over 400 years from which the name of Nosongjeong was originated as people called the juniper as an old (no) pine (song). However, the original juniper has been replaced by its younger juniper tree with an umbrella shape of the top.
