Sangchunjeong Pavilion

Sangchunjeong Pavilion, one of the 11 scenic spots of the Geumgang River in Okcheon-gun, is located in the middle of the Bocheongcheon Stream that meanders east of Okcheon. Although it is a modern structure built in the 1970s, the surrounding scenery is so outstanding that it is counted among the representative scenic views of Okcheon. The name Sangchunjeong (常春亭) is said to have been given because 'the surrounding scenery is always as beautiful as spring.' The island where the pavilion stands, Duksan, also has a unique shape; it is a limestone peak like Dodamsambong, and its appearance rising in the middle of the waterway is similar. The Bocheongcheon Stream, which begins at the foot of Songnisan Mountain in Boeun and flows into Cheongsan-myeon, Okcheon, connects to the Geumgang River. Along the watercourse, 7 weirs are installed, and during the dry season when the stream's water decreases, one can cross Sanseongbo below Duksan and go up to the pavilion. Since Duksan faces away from the east, when the sun rises, one can obtain clear reflection photos like a painting. Winter Milky Way photography is also possible.
