The forest has kept its natural condition unopened to the public throughout the Japanese occupation, liberation, war, and industrialization.
Ahopsan Forest in Gijang-gun, Busan, is a place that was not open to the world for 400 years. The place became known to the world after becoming the filming location for the movie Kundo: Age of the Rampant in 2014. In 2016, the owners who managed the forest for 400 years decided to open the place to the public. The forest was designated as a green belt and water source conservation area for a long time, preserving the healthy natural environment and ecosystem.
The represented place is bamboo habitat. There are two bamboo forests within nine mountains. The Maengjongjuk Forest is the first one encountered along the trail. Go into the dense bamboo forest and look up to the sky to see the glistening sunlight between the leaves. The second bamboo forest is a flat bamboo field known as the bamboo tree–lined trail. The bamboo forest densely populates both sides of the path to block most light, allowing visitors to take a stroll.

Cheonggyesan Mountain surrounds Seoul Grand Park, Seoulland and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Gwacheon. The mountain boarders the area of Yangjae-dong, Seoul and Gwacheon-si, Seongnam-si, and Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and is located next to Gwanaksan Mountain, south of downtown Gwacheon. The mountain is said to have been the home of Joyun, a faithful member of the Goryeo dynasty, after the Joseon dynasty was founded. There is another myth that the mountain is where a blue dragon ascended to heaven, earning the mountain the nickname Cheongnyongsan.
Dense forests, neat valleys, parks, and temples are available in the mountain, making it a suitable attraction for families. There are also many walking courses in varying levels of difficulty.
