Gichon Village in Toji-myeon, Gurye-eup, Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City, is a village at the entrance to Piagol from National Route 19, and can be reached while walking the Gatan–Songjeong course of the Jirisan Dulle-gil. The mountain path of just over 3 km from Mokajae to Gichon Village is known as the most pleasant walking path in the Gurye section of the Jirisan Dulle-gil. Along the way down to Gichon Village there is a huge chestnut field, as well as dunggulle trees and green tea fields. Until about 40 years ago, Gichon Village made mun jongi, that is, hanji, but now it is hardly found, and the village's main sources of income are hanbong (native honey) and chestnut trees. Euneo Village, which has a pension complex, is across from Gichon Village.
