Travel 2024.3.13.



There are legends telling about some weathering pits in Mt Kumgang.

There are four weathering pits in the halfway up a cliff of Manmulsang District, which are called "Chonnyohwajangho". They say that fairies from Heaven took baths at Sangphal Pools, made up their faces at "Chonnyohwajangho" and enjoyed themselves with dancing and playing the pipha (Korean mandolin) at Chonson Rock before returning.

Researchers of the relevant sector recently found weathering pits similar to "Chonnyohwajangho" at Kangson Rock of Sujong Peak.

Sonjo Rock near Lake Yongnang of Sea Kumgang is well known as the best beauty spot in Mt Kumgang.

The name of Sonjo Rock means that it is the place to see the morning sun first.

Like this, numerous diverse weathering pits in Mt Kumgang area with touristic value enhance the natural scenery of the mountain.
