Introduction

This is a recreation area located in a canyon where two rivers join, and where a story about a scholar of the Joseon Dynasty (15th century) has been told; he was on his way to his hometown and was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of this place and stayed here for a while. The clear river water, vast white sandy beaches, large rocks and tall trees are in perfect harmony, and 40 to 50-meter-high rocky cliffs on both sides of the river surround the tourist area like walls, creating excellent views.
