Wonhyobong Peak (687m) is the highest peak in the east of Geumjeongsan Mountain. Like blooming apricot bathed in the light of the rising sun in the East Sea, it has a glamorous appearance as if embroidered with multiple hues. It is therefore called Wonhyobong Peak, meaning "the first of dawn". Located above the fourth lookout tower of Geumjeongsanseong Fortress, it also serves as a lookout with panoramic views of the boundless East Sea.

A story handed down from Wonhyobong Peak tells of General Kim Yushin training the Hwarang (Silla's elite young military). The soldiers urinated on the rocks after standing at attention for a long time, then a Hwarang member planted a small pine tree on that spot. This pine tree boasted its freshness, overcoming rainstorms for many years, so people called the rock on which General Kim Yushin was standing "Kim Yushin Pine Rock". However, its exact location cannot be known.
