A northern highland county of rock gorges, a national arboretum and traditional rice-wine culture.
Known for
- Pocheon Art Valley, a former granite quarry

- Sansawon traditional liquor museum
What to do
Walk the lakes and art spaces of Pocheon Art Valley, then see Hantan River sights such as Bidulginang Falls. End at Sansawon with a tasting.
Tip: The sights are far apart, so a car or taxi tour works best. It is not a quick stop.
