Yongchu Falls is one of the scenic attractions in the Mureung Valley scenic area. Located about 2.5 km west of Samhwa Temple at the entrance to Mureung Valley, the falls consist of three deep, pot-shaped rock pools (upper, middle, and lower) through which water flowing down from Mount Cheongok passes. Below Yongchu Falls, 70 m away, the Twin Falls, whose source appears as high as the sky, meet the water from Yongchu Falls and the Bakdal Valley stream, forming the highlight of Mureung Valley together with Yongchu Falls. Visitors usually choose among seven courses to explore the area; the third and fourth courses are popular for their suitable walking times and many sights.
