Located at the border of Danyang County and Hwasun County in South Jeolla Province, Gwangju, South Korea, Mudeungsan Mountain is known as the guardian mountain of Gwangju. It earned its name because its height is difficult to calculate, no rival peaks can match it, and even ranking it is a challenge. Mudeungsan National Park covers a vast area, and the foothills are equipped with many recreational and convenience facilities. Among them, the most thrilling attraction is the monorail. The Mudeungsan Monorail (at an altitude of 340 meters) offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the towering Mudeungsan Mountain.

The Mudeungsan Monorail, chairlift, and Octagonal Pavilion Observation Deck are all auxiliary facilities of Mudeung Park Hotel. Visitors can experience the thrilling facilities and enjoy panoramic views of Gwangju during the day, then stay overnight here. To ride the monorail, you generally need to take the chairlift up first and then board the monorail.
