Five Mountains of Korea

The Five Mountains of Korea (Korean: 오악; Hanja: 五嶽; RR: Oak) are five renowned mountains in Korean culture:

Joseon era

Kumgang-san, Myohyang-san, and Paektu-san are under North Korean control, while Samgak-san (renamed Bukhan-san) and Jiri-san are under South Korean control.[1]

Silla era

In Silla times, these mountains were considered as guardians of the country, so ceremonial rituals were held by these mountains. All of these mountains are within South Korea.[2]

Five Peaks of Gyeonggi

These five mountains are considered as "the representative peaks of Gyeonggi-do". All of them are in South Korea, except Song'ak-san which is in North Korean territory.
