"Bangjangsan (Mt.) is located on the edge of Noryeong Mountain
Range. It has been called as the "three mysterious
mountains of Jeolla Province" along with Jirisan (Mt.) and
Mudeungsan (Mt.) because it is elevated in its neighboring
plain and hidden in mysterious clouds. Due to its steep
geographical features, a band of robbers took refuge there,
and a woman who was caught by them waited for her husband to
come and rescue her. But he did not come for a long time. She
got tired of waiting for him and sang the "Bangjangsan song."
Gochang Plain and the West Sea seen on the top of the mountain
attract mountain lovers on weekends.
