The 8 scenic views, Danyang

Perched by the lake, surrounded by three national parks and with caves and temples

scattered all over, Danyang is considered one of Korea’s top attractions. Just a 2.5-hour drive from Seoul, Danyang offers the Eight Great Sceneries, which have been well-known since Joseon Dynasty already for magnificent views on peculiarly shaped rocks, peaks and cliffs. The “8 scenic views” are the most unique and beautiful of them and include Mt. Sobaeksan National Park, Guinsa Temple, Gosu Cave, the largest lake and many other must-see spots.
