The mountain and water saves lives with a combination of magnificent scenery and power

Danyang is the land of mountains and waters. The Eight Scenic Views of Danyang, a marvel of nature created by mountains and water, the Namhangang River, and Sobaeksan Mountain, give joy to those who find them. They are a harmonious combination of scenic beauty and power that saves lives.

The Eight Scenic Views of Danyang are an eternal natural heritage in the heart.

Our ancestors were so impressed by them that they wrote countless poems, stories, songs, and dances about them. The Eight Scenic Views of Danyang themselves are traditional natural art history museums.

With Maepo as the center, the Eight Scenic Views of Danyang...

Is the name for the two sites of Stone Gate and Dodamsambong Peaks on the upper Namhangang River, Oksunbong Peak and Gudambong Peak in Cheongpung, and the Sainam Rock, Haseonam Rock, Jungseonam Rock, and Sangseonam Rock in the Danyangcheon Valley. The rainbow-shaped Stone Gate and the Dodamsambong Peaks, which seem to float on water, are both in celestial style. Oksunbong Peak, named for its bamboo shoot-like appearance, Gudambong Peak, which stands majestically like a turtle, Haseonam Rock/Jungseonam Rock/Sangseonam Rock that looks like three brothers, and Sainam Rock, which rises vertically like a checkerboard, are all blessed, authentic works of the Creator.

The charm of the Eight Scenic Views of Danyang is...

That it cannot be viewed from just one side. It has many faces. Depending on who looks at it, meets it, or reads it, it presents a thousand different senses of style. The people of Danyang have also lived within such fences.
