Nestled at the foot of Hyangnobong Peak on Mudeungsan, Jisan Resort opened in 1978 and was a beloved destination for picnics, school trips, and honeymoons in Gwangju during the 1970s and 80s. Although it once experienced a decline, it regained vitality when the lift and monorail resumed operation in 2016. It is now attracting attention again as it spreads through word of mouth on social media among young people for the unique retro sensibility provided by its old and worn-out facilities.
Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of downtown Gwangju and Mudeungsan by taking the lift through the forest and the monorail passing over the Mudeungsan valley. In particular, the rattling of the monorail provides a thrilling experience, drawing visitors looking for a unique adventure. Recently, it has been preparing for a new leap forward with the introduction of new amusement facilities and a redevelopment plan.
