About

Okgye Stream is a valley formed as the rocky ridge of Mount Daedun extends southward, shaped over time by crustal movement and weathering. Clear water flows year-round over its rocks like beads, which is why it is also called Okgye Stream or Okgye-dong. Its shade and shallow water make it suitable for children to play in, so many families visit to escape the summer heat. Nearby Mount Daedun, known as the "Geumgang of Honam," offers beautiful scenery, and crossing the Daedunsan Suspension Bridge and Samseon Stairs is a unique way to experience nature up close.
