Etymology

The name Hwawang is from Korean hwawang, meaning 'energetic fire', from hwa (Korean: 화; Hanja: 火), meaning "fire", and wang (Korean: 왕; Hanja: 旺), meaning "vigorous".

The name originated from the fire festival and practice of burning dry weeds and rice fields that took place every year on January 15.

Overview

It is one of the three primary tourist locations in Changnyeong County.[2] On January 11, 1984, it was designated as a national park.[3]

gollark: <@199529131224989696> I was thinking about stuff recently, and you know when you said `allow for introspection, imagination and probably also analysis of the outside world` when I asked `What does consciousness actually do, though?`Maybe you would need some form of consciousness, whatever that is, for introspection, but you don't for "imagination" and "analysis of the outside world". You can do those with simple "AI" like we use for games.
