A ray of Ssangpokpo Falls comes from Yongchu Falls.Summer is more worth seeing as there is a lot of water.How can a place like this exist? The more you look at it, the more amazing it becomes.

Ssang Falls below Yongchu Falls. Literally, a two-pronged stream of water comes down. It gives me coolness on a summer day. It's currently dry season, so it's a bit disappointing that the water stream on one side doesn't fall like a waterfall.

A waterfall that originates from different places, meets together, and powerfully pours out water. Most people will be amazed by the grandeur, but I think people with a pessimistic view may become absorbed and fall in love with it.

The water coming down from Dutasan Mountain and the water coming down from Cheongoksan Mountain meet to form two waterfalls, forming a twin waterfall. The waterfall on Dutasan Mountain on the left is masculine and has a rough curve, while the waterfall on Cheongoksan Mountain on the right is feminine and has a soft curve. The sound of falling water feels like your heart is being blown out of your chest, and even in the middle of summer, you can feel the coolness that gives you goosebumps as if you are facing winter. If you go up to the waterfall on the right, the bottom and middle of Yongchu Falls are also spectacular views.
