Transportation: Take a shuttle bus (about 3 won) from Baekyang Station to the bus terminal, then take a direct long-distance bus (10 won). By car, take the Nanbai Expressway from Nanning, then the Hena Expressway, then the S316, taking about 3 hours. The shuttle bus (10 won) within the valley can help avoid the steep slope.
Must-see attractions include Tongryeong Falls, the highest drop in Asia (188.6m), a fern colony from the dinosaur era, an underground stowage, and a lava cave. The Lotus Cave and Gugok Valley behind the waterfall are particularly photogenic.
Precautions: knee protection when descending the stairs, non-slip trekking shoes, bring a raincoat (water-resistant inside the Lotus Cave), and avoid weekends and holidays.
For culinary delights, try the Zuo Family Farm in Horenjin (fragrant fried small river shrimp, Yachaek egg stir-fry), Jeongjabaekok glutinous rice cake, and grilled yak meat.
Tongyeongdae Canyon is a geological treasure with 95% vegetation coverage, a pristine forest, and an underground riverbed. It is a natural sanctuary where you can leisurely stroll and experience the passage of time.
