Namhan River and bridge at Danyang, South Korea

Danyang (sometimes pronounced as Tanyang) is a small and picturesque town located at the bend of the Namhan River at the central Ch'ungch'ong-bukto province of South Korea.

This town is a lovely getaway from busy Seoul (about 3 hours bus ride south of Seoul), and offer sightseeing to nearby attractions such as Gosu Caves, Guinsa Temple and Sobaeksan National Park (see my VT Sobaek-sanmaek page). Actually, there are much more attractions nearby, but I do not have enough time to finish them all.

Hope the information and photos of Danyang town and surrounding areas will be useful to you.

Excellent stuff. I didn't think there were 10,000 monks left in the world instead of in one place!

Gosu Caves looks interesting. Autumn colors are pretty. US$30 per night is cheap compared to Seoul hotel rate. SL :)
