Facts and practical information

Gongnyong Ridge is a mountain ridge in Seoraksan National Park, located in Gangwon Province, South Korea. It is the central ridge of Seoraksan, dividing it. The ridge earns its name due to the mountain peaks in the ridge looking as "vigorous and dynamic as a dinosaur rising from the ground". The Gongnyong Ridge was formed from the Jurassic-era granite of Seoraksan being shaped over the years due to tectonic shifts and erosion. ()
