Nestled in the foothills of Jirisan Mountain, Guryong Valley is steeped in legend, said to be the place where nine dragons ascended to heaven. The valley features nine scenic pools and waterfalls framed by dramatic rock formations and crystal-clear streams, making it a favorite summer retreat for visitors seeking cool mountain air and refreshing sounds of flowing water.
지리산 자락에 자리한 구룡계곡은 아홉 마리 용이 승천했다는 전설이 깃든 곳으로, 맑은 물줄기와 기암괴석이 어우러진 아홉 개의 소와 폭포가 절경을 이룹니다. 울창한 숲길을 따라 걸으며 시원한 계곡물 소리를 즐길 수 있어 여름철 피서지로 특히 인기가 높습니다.
