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.
