About
Yongchu Valley on Mt. Gibaek in Hamyang County is one of the Three Scenic Valleys of Anui, and is also called Simjin-dong. At its entrance are the Simwon-jeong pavilion and the Cheongsin-dam pool, and about 3 km further stands the first gate of Jangsu Temple, the only part left after the Korean War. Just above is Yongchu Temple, where Yongchu Falls thunders in front of the temple. At the valley's end, Hamyang County operates the Yongchu Natural Recreational Forest, with cabins, parking, a water play area, an observation deck, and hiking trails to Mt. Gibaek and Hwangseok Mountain.
