Mount Myohyang
Mount Myohyang is a mountain in North Korea. It is named for the mystic shapes and fragrances found in the area. In the foundation myth of Gojoseon, the Samguk sagi listed Mount Myohyang as the home of King Tangun, forefather of the Korean people, however, it is now believed that the myth originally meant Paektu Mountain.| Tap on a place to explore it |
