Gyeonggi-do(Yangpyeong-gun)

Opened in 2004, the Hangang River Eco Learning Center is situated on the Namhangang Riverside. The site used to be a sandpit before it was turned into a wetland. Effluent from wastewater treatment plants, which in the past was released directly into the Hangang River, now passes through several ponds with various aquatic plants and a one kilometer-long waterway so that it can be naturally purified. This has contributed to an improvement in the water quality of the Hangang River. The learning center was built to restore the Namhangang Riverside area, which was destroyed due to sand extraction, and to restore its natural ecology of willow trees, reeds, and birds. The center organizes a number of ecological excursion programs for children.

The mountain is surrounded by forest areas, rock formations and stones, and rock walls that look like intentionally-built fortifications with a narrow path to the west which can accommodate only one person at a time. Shaped like a Buddhist monk lying down when it is seen from Damyang-eup’s side, it is popular for various naturally grown medicinal herbs as well as rare kinds of Chuwolsan orchids. Bottom of the mountain has gentle slopes and densely-packed old pine trees, making it the best destination for recreation and relaxation for families every summer. Higher part of the mountain is hard to climb despite the fact that the mountain is not high. However, it is visited by mountain climbers all around the year. Located under Sangbong Peak is a hermitage and a mineral spring that reportedly never dries up. The peak also boasts an impressive view of the surrounding area, including Damyangho Lake. Chuwolsan Mountain was a battle site during the Imjin War along with nearby Geumseongsanseong Fortress. The last battle of Donghak Peasant Revolution also took place at Chuwolsan Mountain.
