South Korea is located in the southern half of the Korean peninsula in the northeast of the Asian continent, surrounded by the sea on three sides: east, south and west. The mountainous area accounts for about two-thirds of the area of the Korean peninsula, with diverse topography, low hills and plains interlaced.

Korean topography

The low mountains and hills are mainly distributed in the central and eastern parts, and the altitude is mostly below 500 meters. Taibai Mountain runs through the east coast, forming the backbone of the southern peninsula. Several parallel mountains extending to the side of the Yellow Sea form low hills, including Taibai Mountain, Shang Qing and Xiaobai, among which Xue Yue and Wutai Mountain are famous for their beautiful scenery. The highest peak of Xiaobai is Zhiyi Mountain, which runs from northeast to southwest at an altitude of 19 15m.

Halla Mountain is located in the middle of Jeju Island, with an altitude of1950m, which is the highest peak in Korea. According to ancient legends, immortals live on Mount Hannah. Therefore, Halla Mountain used to be called Yingzhou Mountain, and together with Mount Kumgang and Zhiyi Mountain, it was called the three sacred mountains. The plains are mainly distributed in the south and west, and the altitude is mostly below 200 meters. There are plains such as Hanjiang Plain and Xiangtan Plain along the Yellow Sea, and small plains such as Jinhai Plain and Quannan Plain along the South China Sea.
