Overview

1 / 18

In Uiseong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, there is a mountain called Mt. Bingsan. The stream running down the mountain is called ‘Binggye,’ and the nearby village is called ‘Binggye-ri.’ In this mysterious and perplexing valley, you can find amazing ice formations in the heat of summer and a hot stream in the dead of winter.

Tall sheer cliffs rise up across from the village, and many fascinating stones are found in a clear stream that runs under the cliff. The valley also contains a five-story granite pagoda (8.15m) from the early Goryeo period.
