The name "topography of the Korean Peninsula" was given because it literally resembles the Korean Peninsula when viewed from above. Sunam Village, where you can see the topography of the Korean Peninsula, is located at the end of the Pyeongchang River, which is the main river of the Seogang River.
Places to visit in Yeongwol The best place to see the topography of the Korean Peninsula is the observatory. If you park your car in the parking lot on the Korean Peninsula and walk along the mountain road, you will come to the observatory. There are almost no slopes and the path is well paved, so it is about the difficulty of a light walk. If you walk up for about 20 minutes, you can enjoy the panoramic scenery and the topography of the Korean Peninsula with a strong presence. The uniquely shaped terrain arose due to the different flow rates flowing inside and outside the river. The outside flowed quickly, carving through the cliffs, while the inside flowed slowly, piling up sand. By repeating this process, a unique bend was created.
If you want to enjoy the topography of the Korean Peninsula more fully, why not go to the Korean Peninsula Raft Village? The Sunam Village Raft departs from the East Sea of the Korean Peninsula created by the flow of the Pyeongchang River and travels 1km round trip to the west coast.
