Why go

Sainam Rock in Danyang is one of Korea's most painted classical landscapes — a striking vertical rock formation rising directly from the Namhan River, registered as a National Scenic Site. Sainam has been depicted in Joseon-era paintings for centuries, with Kim Hong-do's famous depiction being one of the most reproduced Korean classical-landscape works. For travelers visiting Danyang and serious about Korean classical landscape aesthetics, Sainam is one of the strongest single picks.
