Even the rocks are white, so it is called Xue Yue. 1965 1 In June, the area around Xueyue Mountain was designated as a natural heritage reserve (No.:17 1). It was later designated as a park reserve in1973+February, and was recognized as a "biosphere reserve" by UNESCO in August 1982.

Xue Yueshan covers four cities and counties in gangwon, namely Shucao City, Linti County, Gaocheng County and Xiangyang County. With the highest peak, Daqingfeng (elevation 1708m) as the center, the east (Shucao City, Gaocheng County and Xiangyang County) is called the snow moon outside, and the west (Linyi County) is called the snow moon inside, which is divided into north and south parts. To enter the snowy moon, you can enter from the entrance of Xue Yue, or you can pass through Chishan Hot Springs in sokcho, and pass through Muniuzhai Mountain. The Thousand Buddha Cave Valley was formed when the spring water flowing from Daqingshan flowed northward into Wuzi. Among them, Woxian, Feixian Platform, King Kong Cave, Manjusri Lake, Wulian Waterfall, Shui Yang Waterfall, Yinshui Waterfall and Paradise Waterfall constitute the most representative scenery in Xue Yue. From Daqingfeng along the ridge to Dinosaur Ridge in Michengling, it shows the ultimate beauty of rock walls.

Because it is said that two generals, Quan Hejin, built this city to avoid war, it is called Quanjincheng.
