Dong River, Young-wol

Dong River is the last remaining river of mysterious beauty in South Korea.
The streams from the steep valleys of Jungsun, Pyoungchang -- Ohdaechun, Gojichun, Imgaechun, and Songchun -- form Joyang River in the town of Jungsun.
And from the point where Joyang River meets with the stream of Dongnamchun, the 51km-long river is called Dong River (Dong Gang).
This river meets with Seo River (Seo Gang) in Yongwol, which flows to become the Nam Han Gang, the South Han River.
