Chongsokjong, Scenic Beauty of Korean East Sea

Travel 2022.10.16.



Chongsokjong is situated in the township of Thongchon County and famous as one of eight scenic spots in the northeastern part of Korea.

It is a scenic spot in the eastern coast with a lot of queer-looking stone columns.

As if queer-shaped rocks of Mt Kumgang jumped into the sea, crystal-looking rock pillars are standing on the sea, presenting an exquisite view. Bundles of fine square rock pillars look like a fence. It is a wonder of nature formed with basalt rocks long weathered by waves, wind and rain. The rock pillars are divided into lying pillars, sitting pillars and standing pillars, of which the standing rock pillars are most fantastic.

The rock pillars are rare to be found anywhere. The night view of the rocks is especially fantastic.
