Chaeseokgang Cliff (Jeonbuk National Geopark)

채석강 (전북 서해안권 국가지질공원) · Jeonbuk · Parks & nature

Chaeseokgang Cliff refers to a rocky cliff and the sea around it near the Gyeokpohang Port and Dagibong areas on Byeonsanbando Peninsula. The name Chaeseokgang was adapted as it resembles an attraction of the same name in China. Chaeseokgang Cliff was formed from many layers of rocks stratified by the sea, and the blue sea and the rock cliffs together create quite a lovely picture. It is nature’s masterpiece of stratification, and visitors can observe interesting structures and shapes that cannot be seen elsewhere. ◎ Travel information discovering the charm of Hallyu - Drama At the beginning of the drama, Ban Ji-eum, with memories of her past lives gradually resurfacing, walks along coastal cliffs and sea caves.
