Governor Jeong Seokgyo named the place Cheokgeumdae when there was a poetry club meeting beside the Gokgang river in 1692(the 18th year of Sukjong). You can see a landscape of swimming fish, sparking sand, and pine tree forests when you stand on Cheokgeumdae. Aside from Cheokgeumdae, there are 8 top attractions of the Gokgang river including Yeogibong,
