It is one of the top three valleys along with Cheonbuldong Valley of Seoraksan Mountain and Tamna Valley of Hallasan Mountain.

It is also dotted with seven waterfalls and 33 ponds. The deeper you walk into the valley, the tougher it becomes to hike. Because the valley has taken many lives some people call it ‘Death Valley’. For that reason you can hike Chilseon Valley only after obtaining permission and must first take a 9.4-kilometer course from Chuseong Village of Macheon-myeon to Cheonwangbong Peak, which lies far from the actual valley. If you begin in Chuseong you will run into all of Yongso Pond, Jujiteo, Chuseongmang Rock, Seonnyeotang Pond, Ongnyeotang Pond, Biseondam, Chilseon Falls, Daeryuk Falls, Samcheung Falls and Ma Falls, until you reach Cheonwangbong Peak.

Bijindo Island
Gyeongsangnam-do(Tongyeong-si)

Bijindo’s shape is often compared to that of a barbell because of the thin strip of land connecting the two ends of the island together. White sand and calm waves can be found along the island’s west coast while on the east coast, bigger waves break against a bed of pebbles on the beach. Thanks to the shape of the island, one can watch the sun rise and set from the same location.Bijindo Island is located just off the coast of Tongyeong in Hansan-myeon. The sandy beach, fresh seafood and the peaceful scenery make this a great weekend getaway. Aside from the beach, there are also hiking trails and fishing sites. As Bijindo is part of Hallyeohaesang National Marine Park, one can also find other beautiful islands nearby.
