Information:
The primary source of Geumgang River is a spring called ‘Ddeunbong’ in Subun-ri, Jangsu-gun, Jeollabuk-do, which flows to the north.
At Changnam, it changes direction and enters Bangu-ri, Buri-myeon, Geumsan-gun.
From here, the river flows through steep mountains.
At Sutong-ri, the precipitous cliffs of a mountain named ‘Jeokbyeok’ tower proudly above, and where the river runs under these steep cliffs it is called the ‘Jeokbyeokgang River’ (적벽강). ‘Jeokbyeok’ literally means ‘red walls’ in Korean.
The Geumgang River under Jeokbyeok is as calm as a peaceful lake with long sandy shores.
This riverbank is alive with beautiful flowers in spring, green pine trees in summer, and in fall, the green gives way to an autumnal tint, until lovely snowscapes blanket the area in winter.
A fisherman in his boat in the middle of the river makes the landscape more picturesque.
In summer, the Jeokbyeokgang River’s banks can become quite crowded with visitors.
