Boeunsan is the name of a mountain in Gangjin county, Jeollanam-do. Its highest point is at Udubong (우두봉), 439 meters. Boeunsan is north of Gangjin-eup in Gangjin county, and runs parallel to National Route 2.
Boeunsan is a popular area for hiking among locals in Gangjin. There are three courses, the longest of which is roughly 6 km long. There are three Buddhist temples in the foothills, most notably Geumgoksa. There is an exercise area and natural spring (약수터), and also the remains of Gangjin-eup seong, a fortress, that is designated Jeollanam-do Monument No. 233.
To get there, exit the Gangjin Bus Terminal and walk straight for one block. Turn left, and walk along the alley behind the 군청, provincial office. After two minutes you will see the entrance to 동문, east gate, and a map. Approximately 1.5 kilometers along the trail is an intersection: the left side will take you to a 약수터 and Goseongsa temple, while the right side will take you to 우두봉 peak and Geumgoksa.
