2.5km long Yuancheong valley was the place where old scholars used to study. The valley is deep and have beautiful falls and ponds: the first fall is 80m high, and the second one is 190m. Jaun fall looks like floating white clouds on the sunset, as the wave falls down on the red limestone granite.

On the cliff behind is inscribed Ma-ae Samjon Buddha's Statue(National Treasure No.53) of the Goryeo Dynasty. At the entrance there is Seonnyeodam, the nymph pond, where nymphs used to bathe. The legend says that a woman can have a baby if she bathes here and makes a wish. Geumwonsan natural resort forest is the best resort for the whole family to enjoy the forest and valleys.
