Inwangsan (Korean: 인왕산) is a mountain in central Seoul, South Korea. It is in parts of Jongno District and Seodaemun District and has a height of 338 m (1,109 ft). The name literally means "compassionate/benevolent king" in Korean. The mountain covers an area of 1,086,696.50 m2 and has many huge granite peaks which distinguish it from other mountains in Seoul. Each rock is named after its characteristic form, such as Gichabawi (기차바위; lit. 'train rock'), Chimabawi (치마바위; lit. 'skirt rock'), Iseulbawi (이슬바위; lit. 'dew rock'), Mojabawi (모자바위; lit. 'hat rock'), and Jiryeongibawi (지렁이바위; lit. 'worm rock'). Inwangsan is famous for its view, so many painters depicted the mountain in their works such as Jeong Seon's Inwang jesaekdo. The Fortress Wall of Seoul surrounds the mountain in which the temple Inwangsa and shrine Guksadang are located as well. Access to certain parts of the mountain, including the peak are limited during certain days and times due to the location of a military installation spanning different parts of the mountain.
