Paljoryeong

Paljoryeong is a mountain pass in southeastern South Korea, lying between the peaks of Bonghwasan and Sangwonsan, which are both slightly over 660 meters high.

It lies on the border of modern-day Daegu metropolitan city and Cheongdo, Gyeongsangbuk-do province.

During the later Joseon Dynasty, the Great Yeongnam Road crossed over Paljoryeong, on its way from Seoul to Busan.

[1] With the construction of the Gyeongbu Line railroad in the early 20th century, this route fell out of use.

Water flowing south eventually joins the Nakdong via the Miryang River, passing first through the Daegokcheon which joins the Cheongdocheon in Iseo and finally meets the Miryang River in Sangdong-myeon.
