Sinheung Valley
Korean name신흥계곡
Machine-translated from Korean. Show original
Passing Bongdong and Gosan and going through Gyeongcheon about 2 km toward Unju, Yongbok Gas Station appears. Turning past the station and driving about 2 km brings you to Guje Village. About 2 km southeast past the village, densely layered deep-green peaks and a clear valley unfold before your eyes. The water is not cold, making it a good environment for playing in the water with children; the roughly 3 km valley has a distinctive ecosystem of excellent forest and stream, and is so rich in aquatic life—endangered butterflies, fireflies, crayfish, freshwater snails and shrimp—that it is called “Butterfly Valley.”
