Yongchu Valley (Gapyeong)

Yongchu Valley, the third of Gapyeong's Nine Scenic Views, originates from Kalbongsan Mountain (900m) and flows as if embracing Oknyeobong Peak. Over 24km, nine scenic wonders unfold: Waryongchu, Musongam, Gosiltan, Ilsadae, Chuwoldam, Gwonyuyeon, Nongwon-gye, and others. Hence, it is also called Okgyegugok or Yongchugugok.

Yongchu Valley features Yongchu Falls, 5m high, with a legend that a dragon soared into the sky here, creating nine bends of picturesque scenery. Additionally, heading northeast from Yeoninsan Mountain leads to Buk-myeon Baekdun-ri, and northwest to Mairi, offering famous hiking trails that attract many climbers.
