The Bohyeon Mountain Starlight Festival takes place in summer and is centered in the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory, which was established in 1996.^[2]

This observatory houses the third-largest telescope in Korea, which is the country's largest optical instrument.^[3][2] This 1.8-meter reflecting telescope was built near the peak. There is also a Bohyeon Mountain Science Museum, situated just below the observatory, run by the Yeongcheon City Government.^[3]
