Let us bring you to Anyang Sammaksa Valley this summer!
Anyang Sammaksa Valley is one of the popular places for many people during summer. It is located in the city, so you can get there in 30 mins by taking bus from Gwanak Station. It is definitely a good idea to enjoy refreshing clean valley water and green forests to keep cool during hot summer.
Sammaksa Valley is located in front of the main gate of Gyeongin National University of Education. Walk up from the Sammaksa Valley parking lot and you will see the valley on right side. There is no entrance fee for the valley, so just find a spot that you like and enjoy the cooling water. Do bring snacks, drinks, and mat along too.
Usually after rainy day, there will be a lot of water in the valley. This place is so popular that it is hard to find empty spot on weekends, especially during Summer. It is good to visit this place early in the morning to avoid the crowd.
It is difficult to find convenience store or mart in this area, so it is good to pack some food such as sandwiches, bread and snacks.
But there is toilet available in this area, so don't worry if you need to use the washroom.
There are several areas to walk down to the valley.
For your information, activities such as camping, cooking and fishing in the valley are prohibited. If you bring food, please make sure to keep the trash with you.
One of the reasons why Sammaksa Valley is so popular is that the water is not too deep so it is okay for children to play in the water. If you visit this place three days after the rain, the water level is normally just on the knee of an adult.
The water is so clear that you can see the bottom of the valley. In the hot summer, you can see not only children but also adults enjoying the refreshing water as it allows you to have some relaxation time by just sitting there with your feet dipped in the water.
The downstream is more recommended if you want to play in the water.
There is also a small waterfall and water holes from the narrow rock gaps in the middle of the valley. This spot is popular for people who want to play in the water with tubes.
