This is a 400.7m high peak located in Wonchon-ri, Hwanggan-myeon, Yeongdong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do.

The clear water called Chogangcheon flows under the steep cliff of Wolryubong, and the surrounding area forms a beautiful landscape.

Wolryubong, which means ‘peak where the moon stays’, is known for its especially beautiful moonlit night scenery, just like its name.

Hancheonpalgyeong refers to the eight scenic spots of Wolryubong in Hwanggan-myeon, Yeongdong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. It is a peak about 400m high, and the ridge extending from east to west consists of six peaks.

In spring, it is dyed red with azaleas and rhododendrons, attracting many visitors, and it is also a place where many people visit to enjoy the autumn foliage, mountain hiking, and trekking along the perimeter trail.

– Special products of Yeongdong: Grapes and wine
Yeongdong, where Woryu Peak is located, is famous for grapes. As a result, there are many wines and wineries in the area.

– Convenient transportation environment
Because it is an inland area, the daily temperature difference is large. However, transportation is convenient because the Gyeongbu Line and Gyeongbu Expressway pass by.

– Special experience: Wine train
Yeongdong-gun also operates a special wine train.

– Beautiful scenery and pavilions
In Korea, pavilions were built in places with beautiful scenery and poets used to visit and write poems. You can see the pavilion from the top of Woryu Peak.

– Notes on visiting Woryu Peak
It is difficult to climb to the top, but you can enjoy the scenery without going up. Yeongdong-eup is more than 30km away, so you need to travel by car. There are small restaurants in Hwanggan-eup.
