Following the Seomjingang River flowing down the outskirts of Jirisan Mountain is a village filled with plum trees. This village, Seomjin Village, is also known as the Maehwa (plum) Village for its abundant number of plum trees.

The annual Plum Blossom Festival takes place in the village every March when the plum blossoms are in full bloom.
