Dongsan Valley in Gunwi combines the primeval forest of Mt. Palgong, which rises at its southern end, with clear water flowing over 4 km. Dense forest, clear water and many small waterfalls create a cool, refreshing sound. Long ago it was called "Meokbau" because of its large volume of water, and several waterfalls of various sizes line the valley, adding to its scenery. Nearby sites include Gunwi Samjon Grottoes and Palgongsan Provincial Park, and Provincial Route 79 from Daegu over Hanti Pass is a scenic drive that draws many visitors to the valley in summer.
