Chilbo-san (North Korea)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chilbo-san (칠보산) is a mountain in North Korea. The name translates as seven treasures, stemming from the legend that Chilbo-san has seven treasures buried in it. Chilbo-san is particularly noted for its views when covered in snow.

The mountain is commonly divided into Inner Chilbo, Outer Chilbo, and Sea Chilbo. Amongst the main attractions apart from the views is the Kaesim temple, dating from the 9th century.
