▶ Secret Forest, Baekdu Mountain Underground Forest The secret forest where spring begins first in Baekdu Mountain is the underground forest. The underground forest, which looks like a black hole where the ground has sunk underground, is a unique terrain that was created when large stratums collapsed due to volcanic activity. The cliff forest, which is 1,350 meters down from the entrance, is densely packed with hundreds of years old trees and is covered in thick moss like a carpet. In the underground forest, which is reminiscent of the Forest of Life in the movie Avatar, reishi mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms (red deokdari mushrooms) that grow in shaded and humid places, Baekdu Mountain's immortal herb (Dumeori tree edulis), which is said to be an elixir of life, and oil frogs, another treasure of Baekdu Mountain, grow. ▶ A showdown with honeybees, wild croaker When spring comes, 120 species of wild flowers bloom simultaneously at the 2,000-meter elevation of Baekdu Mountain. Since the flowering period lasts only three months a year, both the bees following the flowers and the beekeepers collecting mountain honey are busy. We take a look at the micro world created by native bees, such as the extraordinary process of mountain honey collection by bees who lure bees and then track their flight path to find natural honey, and the elaborate internal structure of natural woodchrysanthemums that condense the four seasons of Baekdu Mountain. ▶ Memories of prehistoric food, Baekdu Mountain wild vegetable song In spring, the women of Ido Baekha, which surrounds the underground forest, are completely absorbed in the fun of picking plump dried gobies. Unlike bracken ferns that grow in sunny places, gobies that grow in shady places are an old food that our people enjoyed before they even ate bracken ferns. We will meet the native wild greens and medicinal herbs of Baekdu Mountain, such as the oil goby that grows beautifully as if it were a musical note, the fluffy, fluffy, blue-colored grass goby, and the bear-tongue-like bear’s tongue, Ogalpi, and Mansam. Park Soon-bok, who was born and raised in Baekdu Mountain and has been picking wild greens for 70 years, has a heartbreaking story. In order to soothe the lump in his heart after losing his son in an accident four years ago, he drags his aching legs and goes into the forest. The youngest son, Nam-cheol, always stays by his mother’s side, hoping that her heartache will heal. We will listen to the wild greens that contain the joys and sorrows of the Baekdu Mountain people. ※ This video is [Documentary Empathy - Baekdu Mountain’s Spring, Meet Primitive Life (July 18, 2015)].
