Simhangsan Mountain, located adjacent to Chungjuho Lake, is affectionately known as Jongdaengi Mountain due to the presence of a shrine. The construction of Chungju Dam in 1985 led to the formation of Chungjuho Lake and the subsequent disappearance of a village. The Jongdaengi Trail, a scenic walking path along Simhangsan Mountain, offers breathtaking views of Chungjuho Lake. Along the trail, visitors can discover an ecological pond and a suspension bridge, enhancing the overall experience.

Ssanggok Valley, which is located in Chilseong-myeon, Goesan-gun, is 10.5km long stretching from Ssanggok village to Jesurijae.

The valley is surrounded by Bobaesan Mountain, Gunjasan Mountain and Bihaksan Mountain and clear water flows all year down the walls of a series of unique rock formations.

Thanks to its scenic beauty, many Confucian scholars used to visit here to enjoy literature and nature.

Ssanggok Valley is composed of nine valleys and each has its own unique atmosphere.

The first valley, Holongso, flows into a swamp area with many old pine trees nearby creating a picturesque view. The second valley is called Sogeumgang and it is said that its appearance changes with every season. Tteokbawi (rice cake rock) Valley gets its name from the shape it takes on, which is like a sliced rice cake. Similar to the first valley, Munsuam Valley, the fourth valley also has water flowing over uniquely shaped rocks with many old pine trees and flora. The fifth valley has quite a view of parallel rocks on both sides, while the sixth valley offers magnificent vistas of water flowing into a pool formed by the rocks. The water cascading down a huge boulder is said to look like the pleats of a woman’s skirt unfolding at the seventh valley. The eighth valley gathers water into a pond shape from the waterfall; legend says that fairies bathe here. The ninth valley is wide and refreshingly cool even during the hottest summer months.

Sundae is a beloved traditional dish enjoyed as a snack in Korea.

Cheongpungjip, located in Muhak Market, Chungju, is famous for its Chungju-style sundae soup, served with dried radish or napa cabbage leaves. Its taste is so well-known that visitors from other cities come to this place just to get the soup as a takeout. The management is also known for their hearty approach to business, with extra sundae, intestines, or side dishes being a common addition to the flavors of Chungju’s tradition. You can find the store within the Sundae and Mandu Alley.
