Mount. Mudeung (무등산), is a mountain located in Gwangju. I went there 2 weeks ago on 12 May 2013. It is a small mountain, therefore the journey takes about 2 to 3 hours to the top. Total takes about 4 ~ 5 hours of hiking. This mountain is one of the mountain that has the best view I have been.

Map of the whole MudeungSan.

There are volunteers to help u out around the area where the bus stop. Some can speak a little bit of English (so, no worries if you can't speak korean well).

First Lookout point. You can see Gwangju city from here.

On the way to the top..
