Landmarks
Mount Palgong; Donghwasa Temple; Gatbawi; Sincheon Stream; Gyesan Catholic Church; Joseon; Tower; lush temperate Korean flora
Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint along the green banks of the Sincheon Stream looking north toward the majestic granite peaks of Palgongsan, showing weeping willow fronds and stepping stones in the foreground, the clean flowing water, bridges, and city rooftops in the middle-ground, and the massive, forested Palgongsan mountain ridge rising majestically in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick pine and oak forests of Palgongsan and Apsan, willow-lined banks of the Sincheon, and Duryu Park canopies.
