   Simhaksan Mountain

   심학산

   This mountain is located along the Hangang River at the southwestern end of Gyoha-eup, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, and is recorded as Simaksan Mountain (深岳山) in Sinjeung Dongguk Yeoji Seungnam (New Augmented Survey of the Geography of Korea). Because Simhaksan Mountain is not very high compared to other mountains, it is great for a light walk, and the Simhaksan Dulegil trail was established in the autumn of 2009. Yakcheonsa Temple is located at the foot of Simhaksan Mountain, and many visitors come to see the view and sunrise from the summit. MoreLess

   점심식사(콩스콩스두부, 심학산유황오리전문점)

   [Kongs Kongs Tofu] Fresh tofu can be tasted as it is made every morning with domestically grown Jangdan soybeans. In addition, breaking away from the interior of traditional Korean tofu restaurants, it features an upscale Korean restaurant interior, making it a place where families can dine out and couples can enjoy dates over tofu dishes. Furthermore, departing from the fixed notion of tofu as sundubu-jjigae (soft tofu stew) or dubu-buchim (pan-fried tofu), it offers unique dishes such as tofu sushi. [Simhaksan Yuhwang Ori Specialty Restaurant] Serves duck raised on chitosan and dietary sulfur. Various oriental medicinal herbs are added to the duck, creating a superb harmony of clean, savory flavors. Freshly harvested, pollution-free vegetables grown in their own kitchen garden are served to the table. In addition, traditional tea can be enjoyed after the meal.MoreLess
