Ulsan Rock, Seorak Mountain WAS chosen by CNN Travel as 50 beautiful places to visit in South Korea

 

This six-peaked rocky mountain has five urn-shaped holes at the top and is named "Crying Mountain," due to legends and ancient records that claim the rocks on the mountain cry just before a big wind is about to blow.

Another legend behind the mountain's name says that a rock was wandering around looking for Geumgangsan but settled in Seoraksan when it couldn't find it, and became the Ulsan rock.
