An open riverside landscape where the Seomjingang and Boseonggang meet, framed by hills and bridges.
At Amnok in Gokseong, two rivers meet beneath wooded hills. Sand and river stones line the banks, while road and railway bridges cross the water. It is a place to pause beside the river and enjoy the broad valley scenery from the accessible banks.
Wetlands, bamboo forests, tree-lined roads and green tea fields make Jeollanam-do an easy place to slow down.
