As a famous attraction that goes well with the charming surrounding scenery: the stream flowing from Gujangsan Mountain is beautiful and the surrounding rock cliffs spread out like a folding screen. In addition to the scenery, the sound of waterfall plunging down from a 20-meter-high cliff is like roaring thunder. The amount of water may vary, but it never runs out, making one forget the heat even in the middle of summer. The lowest tier of the waterfall pool is so deep, that legend has it that a dragon had once lived in the bottom of the pool. Ancient scholars were so fascinated by the beautiful scenery that they often compared it to the famous Yeosanpokpo Falls in China.
