Pyongyang, October 23 (KCNA) -- Mt Kuwol is one of the six famous mountains in Korea.

Kuwol means September in Korean. Its name was derived from the meaning that its scenery in September is very beautiful.

The mountain is situated in northwestern region of South Hwanghae Province.

It consists of 99 big and small queer peaks like Sahwang Peak (954m), the main peak, formed by weathering and erosion.

In deep valleys, you can see falls and ponds like Ryongyon Falls and Samhyongje Falls. There are also more than 600 species of plants like pine, maple, wild insam and astragalus, and roe deer, pheasant, cuckoo, owl and other living creatures in the mountain.
