Surisan Mountain, a provincial park of Gyeonggi-do, surrounds Gunpo and is also easily accessible from Anyang and Ansan. Surisan Mountain is said to be named because there is a rock in the shape of an eagle. Another legend says it is named after the nearby Surisa Temple.
Surisan Mountain is part of the Gwangju Mountain Range along with Cheonggyesan, Gwanggyosan, Gwanaksan, and Baekunsan mountains. The mountain has four peaks and the highest is Taeulbong Peak (489 m).
Grand old trees that range from 100 to 300 years old make for picturesque scenery. The mountain also won first place in the 2002 Beautiful Forest contest hosted by the Korea Forest Service.

Located halfway up the southwestern side of Surisan Mountain, the eponymously named Surisa Temple was built under the reign of King Jinheung of the Silla Kingdom during the 6th century. The mountain was also called bulgyeon, which means “seeing Buddha,” as it was said that a member of the royal family had a vision of the Buddha while praying at the temple. The temple used to be larger, maintaining 36 buildings on the premises and 132 hermitages spread over the mountain, but these facilities were completely destroyed during the Japanese invasions of Korea from 1592-1598 and the Korean War from 1950-1953. The temple that stands today was reconstructed in 1955. The road leading to the entrance of Surisa Temple offers gorgeous scenery with a beautiful forest and valley lining its sides; it is as if the mountain itself surrounds the temple like a painted screen.

Hwaseong Fossilized Dinosaur Egg Site (화성 공룡알 화석지)

Hwaseong Fossilized Dinosaur Egg Site (화성 공룡알 화석지)

The Hwaseong Fossilized Dinosaur Egg Site was discovered on an island in the tidal plain south of Sihwaho Lake. The island was revealed when seawaters were blocked during a land reclamation project. As the sedimentary layer formed during the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic Era (dated around 83 million to 85 million years ago) was eroded by weathering, roughly 200 dinosaur eggs in thirty nests were discovered at twelve dig sites. It is anticipated that more fossils will be discovered once a thorough investigation is carried out and more land is reclaimed.
Most dinosaur eggs are oval shaped and dark red. Considering the properties of the fossilized shells, the eggs that have been discovered so far are assumed to belong to four-legged herbivorous dinosaurs with a long neck and tail, and two-legged herbivorous dinosaurs, including the hadrosaur. A wide range of plant fossils were also discovered alongside the fossilized eggs, leading to expectations that the formerly lush environment may yet be restored.

The discovery of the Fossilized Dinosaur Egg Site in Hwaseong has greatly expanded the scope of Korean paleontology; previous paleontological discoveries were exclusively limited to fossilized dinosaur footprints. This significant discovery has attracted many internationally renowned scholars who have visited the site in Hwaseong.
