About

Bugaksan (Korean: 북악산) is a mountain in the north of Seoul, South Korea. It famously overlooks the former royal palace Gyeongbokgung as well as the presidential residence, the Blue House. Bugaksan, along with Inwangsan, Naksan, and Namsan surround the Seoul Basin. The mountain has a bedrock of granite, and is about 342 meters (1,122 ft) high.

The mountain has historically gone by a number of other names, including Baegaksan (백악산).
