Machine-translated from Korean. Show original

Hyeonbiam is a cliff about 20 meters high along the Yongjeon Stream that runs through Cheongsong-eup. The strangely shaped cliffs and trees are reflected in the Yongjeon Stream, creating a strange and beautiful scenery. The name Hyeonbiam came from the fact that there is a tomb of the founder of the Cheongsong Sim clan on Bogwang Mountain, the mountain behind this rock, and that a beautiful queen like Queen Soheon Sim, the wife of King Sejong, was born there. There is a legend in Hyeonbiam about a dragon who fell without being able to ascend to heaven. A woman who went out to do laundry at a stream early in the morning screamed in surprise when she saw a dragon ascending to heaven. As a result, the dragon, who had dreamed of ascending to heaven for thousands of years, could not stop ascending to heaven, and fell on the spot and turned into a rock. It is said that the stream flowing under the rock is the tears shed by a dragon who was unable to ascend to heaven. This rock is also called Yongbiam because it is said to have the shape of a dragon's head when viewed from a distance. On the banks of Hyeonbiam Yongjeon Stream, a sandy beach as wide as a beach is spread out, creating the Hyeonbiam River Swimming Beach Recreation Area.
