Today, I came to Cheorwon, Gangwon-do after a long time. The first stop is right next to the road. This is ‘Sambuyeon Waterfall.’ The spectacle unfolds as if the creator had carved it with a hammer and chisel. Sambuyeon Waterfall is 30 meters high and bends three times. It is called Sambuyeon Waterfall because the lower part looks like a cauldron. It is also famous for the work ‘Sambuyeondo’ by Gyeomjae Jeongseon. It is said that the location of the waterfall has been moved over time. If you look to the left of the waterfall now, you can see traces of the waterfall from a long time ago. We recommend you to see the spectacular scenery created by strange rocks and majestic waterfalls. Going to the second place, the fog is no joke. I was worried that the scenery would be obscured. But it's a really popular place, so the parking lot is huge.

This is ‘Cheorwon Hantangang Columnar Joint Road’. Closed every Tuesday and public holidays. There are two ticket offices: Sundam and Drni. When traveling in one direction (one way), you must consider the way you will return. There is a shuttle bus on the weekends, but on weekdays you have to take a taxi (or round-trip on foot). Admission is 10,000 won for adults, but 5,000 won is returned with a Cheorwon gift certificate. Gift certificates can be used almost like cash in the Cheorwon area. Personally, I recommend starting from the Sundam ticket office. This is because the view on the right is better when there are many people. Quite crowded on holidays. I have traveled quite a few roads across the country. Personally, the Hantangang Columnar Joint Trail was the best. The spectacle that unfolds as soon as it starts is awe-inspiring. The spectacular view of the Hantangang River Geopark.

a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the 40-meter-high Zando-gil is truly amazing. Especially in autumn, the autumn leaves spreading on the cliff are close enough to hold. When you walk along the curve of the cliff, you feel as if you are walking on clouds. Arrived at the first observation deck. Even people who don't have a fear of heights get dizzy just looking at it. It's amazing how you made it this way. I also liked the sound of the Hantan River running to the right. And not only is there a small road, there are many suspension bridges everywhere. The autumn leaves are at their peak until early November, but it is best to go now. The length is about 3.6 km one way and takes about an hour. (It takes about 2 hours to return to the origin by round-trip). If you stop walking even for a moment, the feeling of floating high becomes real and scary. (The floors are all wire mesh!)

This makes it one of the most popular tourist destinations in Korea. However, since there are many stairs, the elderly or pregnant women should not finish the race by overdoing it. Please go according to your fitness. You have arrived at your next destination. The parking lot here is also quite large. The large parking lot means that it is popular. This is ‘Goseokjeong Tourist Complex’. It is known as the place where Lim Kkeok-jeong worked in the distant past. This place is famous for a pavilion called Goseokjeong. Shall we go down together? Go Seokjeong is also famous as a filming location for various dramas and movies. If you go down about 100 meters, the scenery literally looks like a movie. I really think Lim Kkeok-jeong is just hiding. The original location of the pavilion was on that high rock in the river. It has been restored to the riverside for safety reasons. If you come here, I highly recommend you try it.

This is Goseokjeong Tongtongbae. Please note that there is no service during lunch time. The price is 6,000 won for adults, but Cheorwon gift certificates are also accepted. This is the closest way to see the stunning Hantangang Cliffs. The boat is a small tongtong boat, but when there are a lot of people, it is said that up to 4 boats are operated. The rock you see on the right is ‘Goseok’. It means 'Lonely Rock'. Originally, there was a pavilion on that rock, so it is called Goseokjeong. The captain is kind and explains in a fun way. See the strange-looking animal rocks on the right? I see 'Turtle Rock'. On the left is 'Gorilla Rock'. Are they really similar? The boat barely crosses the cliff. Ah! It's called 'Pig Nose Rock'. The boat returns right in front of the rapids.

When I come back, I look in the opposite direction, and I see another shape. This rock is ‘Goseok-Lonely Rock’. It's amazing that a pine tree grows so well on top of a rock. The boat ride takes about 15 minutes. There is a ‘Goseokjeong Flower Field’ right next to the Goseokjeong Tourist Complex. It runs from September to the end of October every year. If you want to go, please hurry. It's huge. The entrance fee is 6,000 won, but 3,000 won is returned as a gift certificate. It is a good place to take pictures as there are various flower fields spread out. You must bring a selfie stick. The popular Pink Muhly field is also very wide. Another attraction is about 10 minutes away from Goseokjeong Pavilion. There is also a good parking lot here. However, there is also basalt that seems to be found only in Jeju Island.

This is the Hantan River lava zone. This is the ‘Hantangang Milky Way Bridge’. There is no entrance fee, and it is open daily from 9 am to 6 pm. It is a dizzying bridge hanging over the wide canyon of the Hantan River. The gorge of the Hantangang River spreading to the left and right is refreshing to see. This bridge can only be crossed on foot and is wheelchair accessible as there are no steps. A hidden attraction is only 5 minutes away from the Milky Way Bridge. The parking lot is a bit small, but if you are nearby, please check it out. Just go down the small stairs next to the parking lot. As I go down the stairs, I hear the sound of running water in the distance. The name of this place is ‘Jiktang Waterfall’. The Hantangang River is where the waterfall was created like a staircase. The bottom of this place is a topography formed by hardening lava.

It doesn't feel well in the video, but it's not small. In particular, it looks even more beautiful in harmony with the surrounding scenery. There is a reason why this place is called the Niagara Falls of Korea. A unique columnar joint is spread around the waterfall. Red autumn leaves appear on the cliff, and it looks like a red wall. If you drive about 20 minutes from here, there is a new tourist attraction this year. Cheorwon is really serious about tourism! This is ‘Cheorwon History and Culture Park’. When you go to the entrance, the old town is reproduced like this. Above all else, there is a building that everyone has seen at least once. It has already been 670,000 hours since the division into North and South Korea. This is the ‘labor company’. It burned down during the Korean War in the past, and now only the skeleton remains. Bullets and shell marks are clearly visible everywhere. It's a new place, so it's very clean and well-equipped.

There are sculptures that fit the theme inside the building. (Former firefighter) (I love classic bikes!) There is also a theater. There is an actual screening inside. Actually, I came here because of ‘Cheorwon Station’. ‘Soisan Monorail’ is in operation here. This monorail is really popular, so if you don't make a reservation in advance, it's actually difficult to get on. Adult 5,000 won and gift certificate 3,000 won. We recommend that you make a reservation online in advance. On-site ticketing is also available, but there are not many remaining seats. Seats on the left when going up and on the right when going down have a better view. You must wear a seat belt. If you don't have a monorail ticket, you can climb to the top on foot. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to climb. The monorail goes up very slowly. In fact, it is similar to walking speed. But the slope goes up and down.

It's like a roller coaster fun. The monorail one-way travel time is approximately 10 minutes. Get off the monorail and go to the top.
It takes about 10 minutes to go up the promenade. The deck on the right has stairs, and the trail on the left is slightly longer instead of having no stairs. You may be wondering if you need to go to the top of Soisan Mountain. I personally recommend you to go there. Near the summit, former military facilities remain. It's called an American barracks. Climbing to the top of Mt. Soi is truly refreshing. You can see the endless ‘Cheorwon Plain’ and even North Korea in the distance. I can't explain everything in the video, but seeing it in person, my eyes are strong. I heard that the Cheorwon Plain is wide, but seeing it from above is truly spectacular. You can even see the Pyonggang Plateau in North Korea. In particular, on the left side, it looks like you will be able to get your hands on the ‘White Horse Highlands’, which was the most fierce battleground of the Korean War.

Behind the three small peaks, you can see Baekma Gorge. Soi Mountain is 362 meters high, but there are no high mountains nearby. I felt a lot higher. Near the summit, a former military facility has been turned into an experience area. An underground bunker will be opened in the future. You can take the monorail going down at any time and come down at your convenience. Please make a reservation online in advance. There is a little-known attraction about 5 minutes away from here. This is a temple called ‘Dopiansa’. This is where National Treasure No. 63 and Treasure No. 223 are located. The entrance to the temple is very quiet. (Judge, I am not guilty!) There is a small three-story stone pagoda in the temple yard. This is Treasure No. 223, the three-story stone pagoda of Dopian Temple. Behind the stone pagoda, National Treasure No. 63, ‘Statue of Iron Birojana Buddha’ is enshrined.

It is a rare statue of Buddha from the Silla period, with the body and seat of the Buddha all made of iron. The last thing I went to was ‘Baekmagoji Station’. This is the last station at the end of the Gyeongwon Line. There is no railway now, so a shuttle bus is operating from Dongducheon Station. White Horse Goji had so many shells that it fell on the mountain. It got its name because the shape of the mountain looks like lying down (the mountain is flattened) and like a white horse (the tree is missing). I wonder how many lives must have been sacrificed. The train is now stopped, but it is being used as a bus waiting room. I hope this was helpful for your itinerary. Thanks for watching today!
