   Wollyubong Peak

   월류봉

   Wollyubong Peak is approximately 400 meters high, with a ridge extending from east to west comprising six peaks. Befitting its name, which means 'the peak where the moon lingers,' the scene of the moon hanging over the upright cliff is truly beautiful. Hancheon Palgyeong (Eight Scenic Views of Hancheon) refers to the eight scenic spots around Wollyubong Peak in Hwanggan-myeon, Yeongdong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, and it is said to have been named after Hancheonjeongsa, where scholar Uam Song Si-yeol once stayed. Below the mountain flows Chogangcheon Stream, an upper tributary of the Geumgang River; the clean white sandy beach and the moonlight reflecting on the riverside are so beautiful that they are comparable to the Yangsan Palgyeong (Eight Scenic Views of Yangsan).MoreLess

   Sanmak Winery

   산막와이너리

   Located in Yeongdong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, Sanmak Winery is a cultural space where wine and art harmonize. The owner, a Seoul native, returned to farming to grow grapes, studied winemaking, and opened the winery. It is a tourist destination where visitors can spend time drinking wine in a quiet mountain valley, healing both body and mind in nature. The winery offers various hands-on programs such as making fans and keychains, as well as garden parties combined with winery and gallery tours, and also takes custom wine orders. Since Yeongdong in Chungcheongbuk-do has well-suited environmental conditions for grape farming, wineries can be found easily. Farm-stay style winery tours are offered visiting around 40 local farm wineries, including the Yeongdong Wine Tunnel, making a combined visit to nearby wineries a special travel experience.MoreLess
