The primary source of the Geumgang River is a spring located on Ddeunbong Peak 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.

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.

Created by the Geumgang River that flows like silk around Bonghwasan Mountain, the village is surrounded by breathtaking scenery, keeping Mother Nature clean so organisms including marsh snails and mandarin fish can live.

In the village, plenty of hands-on activities such as catching snails in the crystalline water like a treasure hunter and riding a tandem bike are available to make a valuable memory. Not only these activities, visitors can also take a rest within the ambience of Bidangang River and pick sweet potatoes and grapes, giving the pleasure of harvesting. Other programs including making a wooden doorplate, wine foot-bathing, flying a pungdeung (lantern), and herb soap-making are offered.
