Local legend related to Oh-peak in Obong-ri
In the village of Obong-ri, five peaks rise alongside Gallibong, forming the revered Obong Mountain. On the evening of the first full moon of the lunar year, villagers would climb to its summit, gazing at the moon and making wishes, believing that their desires would be fulfilled.
Children would ignite tin cans filled with fire, swinging them in circles—a ritual of light and movement symbolizing hope and renewal.
