Geumgang-san
Myo-gilsang-am
Hermitage with a Gigantic Cliff-Carved Buddha
in the rarely-visited Inner Sector of the "Diamond Mountains" of North Korea
Part of the Baekdu-daegan
The great relief-carving of Amita-bul [Buddha teaching in the Western Paradise], called the Myogil-sang,
at Myo-gilsang-am [Mysterious Paradise Hermitage], dates from the early Goryeo Dynasty period,
the
Second Golden Age of Korea.  It is the largest such relief-carving on all the peninsula!  The minimalist-
design Stone Lantern in front of it may be the second-largest traditional one in all Korea, after
Hwaeom-sa.

UPDATE:  in what is both a crime against the highly-sacred historical character of this
mountain and an inevitable step of modern-tourism development, "The first golf course
on North Korea's Mt. Geumgang is under construction" and was supposed to open in
2007; since the shutdown in Fall 2008, I've seen no word on whether it actually did.  
"The course has several specially designed holes, including a par seven hole, the
world's longest with a length of 1,014 yards, and a par 3 hole, which is also known
as the 'hole-in-one' hole" -- reported www.korea.net on August 18th, 2006.
