About
Yongchu Valley, in the Daeya Mountain area, is ranked first among the eight scenic spots of Mungyeong, and lies on the border with Goesan in North Chungcheong Province. Its two-tiered Yongchu Falls is the highlight, and legend says two dragons rose to heaven from here; traces of their scales remain on the granite rocks. The water never dries up, and rain rituals were once held here during severe droughts. The pool beneath the falls is shaped like a heart. Daeya Mountain was named one of Korea's 100 famous mountains by the Korea Forest Service in 2002, and the Daeya Mountain National Natural Recreation Forest lies beside the valley.
