The mountain, connected to downtown Daegu by bus, is a popular site for weekend outings from the city.
[1] In 927, at the time of the Later Three Kingdoms, Kyŏn Hwŏn of Later Baekje led forces into Silla, capturing and executing King Gyeongae, and installed King Gyeongsun as his puppet monarch before he turned his army toward Goryeo.
Hearing of the news, Taejo planned a strike with 5,000 cavalrymen to attack Kyŏn's troops on the way back home at this mountain.
But eventually his army was routed and in the woods Sin was shot with arrows and was killed by the enemy.
[11] While Taejo retreated from the battle and went to Apsan Mountain, he left many place names related to him in Daegu.
