Boriam, or Bori Hermitage, is a Buddhist hermitage on the top of Namhae Geumsan (mountain), popular with visitors because of the great views.
A legend says Yi Seong-gye, a general in Goryeo Dynasty, prayed to a mountain god to be king promising that if the wish came true, he would cover the whole mountain with silk. When he became the first king of the Joseon Dynasty, King Taejo, he actually could not cover the mountain with silk he so instead changed the name of the mountain to Geumsan (silk mountain).
