About
Wolcheon Resort Area lies about 40 km south of Samcheok, right next to Wolcheon Beach. In the Samhan period, this area was the state of Siljikguk, and after it came under Silla, it was a site of constant power struggles with Goguryeo. Waters from several peaks of the Baekdudaegan flow down as the Gagokcheon Stream into the East Sea. Visitors can enjoy the clear stream and the scenic East Sea, with lush poplar trees surrounding the resort like a screen. The site has fairly spacious parking and camping areas, and the many freshwater fish in the Gagokcheon make it an attractive spot for anglers.
