Dodamsambong
도담삼봉
Three stone peaks standing in the South Han River, a highlight of the Eight Scenes of Danyang. Jeong Do-jeon, a founding official of Joseon, took 'Three Peaks' as his pen name.
Dodamsambong consists of three limestone peaks rising from the South Han River. The tallest, central peak, 'Husband Peak,' is flanked by 'Concubine Peak' and 'Wife Peak,' which lends the scene folklore charm. It is the most representative of the Eight Scenes of Danyang and is officially counted as the sixth scene. Jeong Do-jeon, a founding official of Joseon, often visited here as a youth and took 'Sambong' (Three Peaks) as his pen name. A bronze statue of him stands on the riverbank. The pavilion in the river, Samdo Pavilion, is reflected in the water. It is most like an ink painting at dawn, when mist rises or after snowfall, and in summer there is a musical fountain in the evening. Admission to the site is free, but parking is charged. You can also view the peaks up close from a sightseeing boat. Getting there: a taxi from Danyang Station takes about 5 minutes, and Seokmun can be reached on foot.
