Thanks to its scenic beauty, many Confucian scholars used to visit here to enjoy literature and nature.

Ssanggok Valley is composed of nine valleys and each has its own unique atmosphere.

The first valley, Holongso, flows into a swamp area with many old pine trees nearby creating a picturesque view. The second valley is called Sogeumgang and it is said that its appearance changes with every season. Tteokbawi (rice cake rock) Valley gets its name from the shape it takes on, which is like a sliced rice cake. Similar to the first valley, Munsuam Valley, the fourth valley also has water flowing over uniquely shaped rocks with many old pine trees and flora. The fifth valley has quite a view of parallel rocks on both sides, while the sixth valley offers magnificent vistas of water flowing into a pool formed by the rocks. The water cascading down a huge boulder is said to look like the pleats of a woman’s skirt unfolding at the seventh valley. The eighth valley gathers water into a pond shape from the waterfall; legend says that fairies bathe here. The ninth valley is wide and refreshingly cool even during the hottest summer months.

What sets their memil naengmyeon apart is the exquisite broth, a harmonious blend of Korean beef brisket and the crisp, refreshing water of dongchimi (radish water kimchi). This unique combination results in a soup that’s both refreshing and subtly flavored, ensuring the noodles are tender and accessible to a wide array of palates. The restaurant is conveniently located near the Boeun Intercity Bus Terminal and the bustling Boeun Traditional Market.
