Muhaksan Mountain, seated behind Masan like a beautiful folding screen, is a beloved mountain by the residents of Changwon. It was given the name, “Muhaksan,” as it looks like a crane that is dancing with its wings spread open, but its original name was Ducheoksan. The main peak and Seomajigi are covered with silver grass, and the main ridge extends in the north-south direction. The western area of the mountain facing Gwangnyeosan Mountain is quite steep, whereas the eastern area has gentler slopes and embraces a part of Masan. The northern ridge connects to Cheonjusan Station in Changwon, and has gentle slopes that lead to Ducheokgol and Aengjibatgol. On the other hand, the southern ridge descends to Mannaljae via Daegoksan Mountain and extends all the way to Daesan Mountain. The beauty of Muhaksan Mountain is the Hakbong Peak, which is regarded as the “head of the crane.” The striking rocky peak looks spectacular with the azaleas that bloom in surrounding area in the springtime.
