Danyang-eup is located where the Namhangang River flows. Danyang town, seen from the top of Yangbangsan Mountain, blends in with the Namhangang River and has a very different scenery and feel from other downtown areas. Danuri Aquarium, which was recently built in Danyang-eup, and Gosu Cave, which can be easily reached across Danyang Bridge, are the closest tourist attractions to Danyang-eup.
Details
- Dodamsambong Peaks
- Dodamsambong is located in the middle of the Namhan River, where the clear, blue water flows leisurely. With the majestic Janggunbong (Husband Peak) at the center, three peaks rise above the water, including the coquettish Cheobong Peak (Daughter Peak) on the left and the calmly sitting Cheobong Peak (Son Peak) on the right.\n
- stone gate
- If you go about 200m upstream from Dodamsambong, dozens of rainbow-shaped stone pillars appear on the left bank of the river. These are stone gates.\n
- Lunch (Jangdari Restaurant)
- The set meal here is characterized by rice served with garlic, a local specialty. You also have to order rice before they start cooking it. It may smell, but the crunchy taste of cooked garlic and the sweet taste of jujube mixed together provide a unique taste. \n
- Yangbang Observatory
- Yangbangsan Mountain Observatory is an observation tower built on the summit of Yangbangsan Mountain, 664 meters above sea level. You can enjoy a panoramic view of the Namhangang River as it curves around Dajeon-ri. Shin Danyang had its county office located in the current Danseong-myeon, which was submerged due to the construction of the Chungju Multi-Purpose Dam. It was moved to the current Sangjin-ri and Jeondo-ri areas and became Danyang-eup.\n
- Gosu Cave
- Gosu Cave is located at the foot of Gosu-ri, Danyang-eup, Danyang-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. It is a limestone cave developed from limestone deposited on the seafloor in the early Paleozoic Era about 500 million years ago. Designated as Natural Monument No. 256, it is a limestone cave with a total length of 1,700m. \n
