Daecheoncheon Valley

Geumjeongsan Mountain is the representative Jinsan Mountain in Busan, has the best accessibility where you can feel the freshness of the mountain when you reach the top. The valley water originating from Geumjeongsan Mountain leads toward Daecheoncheon Stream and it presents visitors with a beautiful view of the valley as the water flowing down between huge rocks to create a large and clear lake - Daecheoncheon Aegiso lake which is the visitors’ favorite.

Daecheoncheon Valley has different water levels. Heading the upper, you will immediately notice that certain places are “for children,” while others, “for teens.” The abundant volume of water also produces a satisfying sound. Listen to the beautiful harmony of nature’s music created by birds chirping in the forest.
Enjoy an enjoyable time on the valley under the shades of trees in the green forest, and say goodbye to the hot summer heat!

Unsusa Valley

It is one of the main peaks of Baekyangsan Mountain and Geumjeongsan Mountain, where many people voluntarily hike to the top with azaleas in full bloom cover Aejin Peak in spring features cool and clean valley. Unsusa Temple is a thousand-year-old temple located at the foot of Baekyangsan Mountain. The valley below the temple is famous for its cold and clean water. The dense forest surrounds the valley is blocking the warm sunlight which makes the place is windy and refreshing.

The well-kept valley has a deck walkway, wooden benches, and a forest playground for children are made the place perfect for families. You can spend time with your kids in the shallow valley. However, the water level will be deepened when you climb over the valley, so some areas are banned to visit. Along the forest walking trail, it is a good place to smell of grass and soil as a therapeutic walk in the forest. Sounds like a good place to stay in all day away from the heat, doesn’t it?
