About
Samijeong Valley is located in Sosan-ri, Beopjeon-myeon, Bonghwa County, and is one of the few clean areas remaining in Korea. This Y-shaped valley lies between Taebaeksan and Sobaeksan, the source area of the Nakdong River. Clear, cool streams flow past pine forests and rugged rock formations. At the valley entrance, Jo Deok-rin, who served as Right Royal Secretary under King Yeongjo, built a pavilion called Samijeong in 1737, and the valley took its name from it. In summer, Bonghwa County assigns lifeguards from early June to late August to ensure visitor safety and water quality.
