Chiaksan National Park (Korean: 치악산국립공원; Hanja: 雉岳山國立公園) is located in the province of Gangwon-do, South Korea.
[2] The park is named after the 1,288-metre (4,226 ft)[3] mountain Chiaksan, which in turn had its name changed from Jeokakasan to Chiaksan, meaning "Pheasant Peak Mountain", based on a myth about a man who saved a pheasant from being eaten by a snake.
Among the animals 34 are endangered, including the Flying squirrel and Hodgson's Bat.
