Mot Mai (Single-Roofed Pagoda), a small temple perched on a rocky cliff, is celebrated for its serenity and spiritual retreat. Proceed to the second cable car station to get closer to the summit. After disembarking, a short walk leads to the statue of An Gi-saeng, the mythical figure believed to have achieved enlightenment on this mountain.
