Bagyeon Falls

The Bagyeon Falls are located in Bagyeon-ri, north of Gaeseong, North Korea. Koreans have long regarded this waterfall as one of the most beautiful on the Korean Peninsula, along with Guryong Falls at Geumgangsan Mountain and Daeseung Falls at Seoraksan Mountain. During the Joseon Period, people referred to Bagyeon Falls, Seo Gyeong-deok (a Confucian scholar), and Hwang Jin-i (a famous gisaeng) as the three best-known phenomena of Songdo (currently Gaeseong): These waterfalls were depicted in a masterpiece of the same title produced by Jeong Seon (pen-name: Gyeomjae), and in a folk song famous among Koreans. This digital painting presents the refreshing sight of waterfalls and a beautiful pond.
