Spicy Braised Chicken, a staple in Korean cuisine, is prepared by stewing chicken pieces with a fiery blend of red pepper powder and various seasonings. It’s a dish that complements rice perfectly. Here, the chicken is simmered in a sizeable metal pot with a flat lid, a method that not only retains heat better but also infuses a distinctive flavor and a touch of the chef’s personal care into every bite. The dish’s flavor is enhanced when paired with seasoned green onions, adding a crisp, spicy kick. Following the main course, the leftover sauce is used to stir-fry rice into the visually appealing and tasty Fried Rice Art, often shaped into a heart, delighting both the palate and the eyes. Nearby, guests can hear the gentle flow of a stream and have access to the valley via stairs, offering a chance to indulge in some light water activities after their meal.

On old maps, the mountain had been called Mayusan Mountain because of the horses raised in the area, but today it is more widely known as Yumyeongsan Mountain. The trail that starts from Yangpyeong leads to an expansive and open grassland. The hiking trails are also connected to those of Mount Daebusan and Mount Sogunisan. On the summit, there is a pile of stones, and the view from the top is splendid.
