Eight Views of Danyang

The Eight Views (or Vistas) of Danyang (Korean: 단양팔경; Hanja: 丹陽八景) are the selected natural scenes of Danyang County, North Chungcheong Province in Korea.

They are mainly famous rocks and peaks of this mountainous region.

Among these sights the best known is Dodam Sambong (3 Peak Island), representing the typical love triangle of ancient Korea: a husband, his wife and his mistress.

The biggest peak, about 20 feet high with a pavilion on top, in the middle represents the husband, while the first smaller peak on one side of the husband is the wife.

It is said to be in the middle of the route on which the Chinese culture in ancient days reached the southern area of Korean and ultimately Japan.
