View original description

Cheongnyeongpo Scenic Spot is one of Yeongwol's representative tourist destinations, also well known as Joseon's 6th king Danjong’s home in exile. The Namhangang River surrounds its three sides, and there are mountains on the other side. It is only accessible by boat. For reference, there is no set schedule for the departure and arrival of the boat, and it starts operating once the travelers are seated to some extent. Travelers are welcomed by tall pine trees when entering Cheongnyeongpo. There are many historical sites, such as Danjong's home in exile, a pine tree about 600 years old called Gwaneumsong, and Manghyangtap Tower, which serves as an observatory.
