Yudalsan is a rocky mountain in the port city of Mokpo, south-western South Korea, rising to 228 metres. It is the symbol of the city and one of its Eight Scenes, sometimes called the little Diamond Mountain of the Honam region, after the famous Geumgangsan. From the summit thousands of islands can be seen at sea, and the mountain holds hills of strangely shaped rocks, its three highest peaks named First Rock, Second Rock and Madang Rock. Two well-known monuments stand on it, a statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and one of the singer Lee Nan-young. Its plants are lit at night as part of a city-of-light project. You see sharp grey rock peaks jutting from pine forest, small wooden pavilions on the rocks and stone steps climbing between them. From the top a view opens over Mokpo's roofs and harbour, with many green islands scattered across a blue sea to the horizon. It is about 3 km from central Mokpo in a straight line. The climb to the top takes about an hour, and a nearby marine cable car crosses to Gohado island.
