Why go

Hwasun Jeokbyeok ('Red Cliff') is a striking red-rock cliff face along a river in Hwasun, Jeollanam-do — registered as part of the Damyang-Hwasun area's Cultural Heritage Scenic Sites. The cliff has been celebrated in Korean classical poetry and painting for centuries, with the dramatic red-and-grey rock face reflected in the river below. For travelers serious about Korean classical landscape aesthetics — the kind of scene that appears in Korean ink paintings — Hwasun Jeokbyeok is one of the cleaner single anchors. Best treated as a scenic photo stop combined with a Hwasun-area heritage day.
