| the craggy eastern face of An-san, which means "Saddle Mountain", seen from Inwang-san to its east. This small but sharp mountain, its summit of only 295 meters offering a fantastic view of the city, is host to the over-century-old campuses of Yonsei University and Ehwa Women's University, two of Korea's top institutions of higher learning.
