홍룡폭포(홍룡사)

원효산 골짜기에 위치한 폭포로 떨어지는 모습이 꼭 용이 무지개를 타고 승천하는 것과 같다는 의미로 이름붙였고 상중하 세단계에 걸쳐 떨어지는 독특한 형태가 특징이다.

Why go

Hongryongpokpo (Hongryongsa Falls) is a famous waterfall in Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-do, set in a forested valley near Hongryongsa Temple. The falls feature a dramatic single drop of approximately 80 meters down a vertical cliff face, surrounded by dense forest cover. The combination of the dramatic waterfall, the Hongryongsa Temple compound at the base, and the surrounding forested mountain landscape makes Hongryongpokpo one of southeastern Korea's most-cited natural-tourism destinations. Best in summer for the strongest water flow, paired with broader Yangsan-area itineraries.
