Hoeryongpo Meandering Stream, Yecheon

Hoeryongpo is where the most typical examples of the many incised meanders found on the upper reaches of the Naeseongcheon Stream and the Nakdonggang River can be seen, and its clear river water, sandbanks, steep mountains, farmland and villages combine to form a beautiful, scenic landscape. The site also allows the whole process of river development, including fluvial terraces, fluvial islands, point bars and floodplains, to be observed at a glance, giving it great scholarly value as basic material for research into erosional and depositional landforms. On Biryongsan Mountain, which encircles the river, cultural remains such as Jangansa Temple, an old temple dating from the Silla period, are well preserved, further enhancing the site's value as a Scenic Site.
