绝对的紫色山峰 Positively purple peaks

韩国黄前山上盛开的杜鹃花

随着夏天的临近，大片皇家杜鹃花将韩国黄前山的两侧涂成了鲜艳的紫色。游客们成群结队地观看这片引人注目的粉红色和紫色的花朵地毯，它是随着奶牛和绵羊吃掉草和植物而逐渐形成的，但留下了遍布山上的有毒杜鹃花。

对于那些想攀登的人来说，黄前山还拥有巨大的岩层、令人惊叹的景色，以及一个传说，任何在山顶祈祷的人都会实现他们的愿望。它的海拔高度约为3650英尺，为徒步旅行者和露营者提供了一个逃离城市生活的宁静之地。那些想在杜鹃花中漫步的人应该在五月杜鹃花盛开的时候去那里。但是，如果穿着得体，在峰会上仍然会感到寒冷。

Azaleas blooming on Hwangmaesan Mountain, South Korea

Vast colonies of royal azaleas paint the sides of South Korea’s Hwangmaesan Mountain a vibrant purple as summer approaches. Sightseers flock to see this striking pink and purple carpet of flowers which was created gradually as dairy cows and sheep ate the grass and plants, but left behind the poisonous azaleas which spread across the mountain.

For those who want to climb it, Hwangmaesan also features massive rock formations, stunning views, and a legend that anyone who prays at the summit will have their wish granted. It reaches an altitude of around 3,650 feet and offers a peaceful escape from city life for hikers and campers. Those who want to walk among the azaleas should head there in May, when they come into bloom. But dress appropriately, it still gets chilly up at the summit.
