Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Gangcheonsan Mountain is called the Little Geumgang of Honam because its scenery changes with the seasons and remains consistently beautiful. Following the valley that stretches about 8 km between two mountain ridges starting from the mountain entrance, you will see奇特 rocks, large dark ponds, and natural waterfalls alternating and harmonizing with the surrounding forests, creating a spectacular view. Additionally, the baby maple leaves, which are the pride of Gangcheonsan, turn red, covering the entire mountain in red foliage. The valley leading from the ticket office to Gangcheonsa Temple has a gentle slope, making it good for a stroll, and there are many spaces along the way to soak your feet in the stream and rest. Gangcheonsa Temple, a sanctuary for Buddhist nuns, is an ancient temple founded by Master Doseon during the Silla Dynasty, and it houses a five-story stone pagoda (Local Tangible Cultural Property No. 92) built during the reign of King Chungsuk of the Goryeo Dynasty.
