Gangwon-do Jeongseon Byeongbang Mountain(861m) On the middle there is a high bridge called the Byeongbangchi.

Until the road was built in 1978, residents of the mountain village of Gyulam-ri were crossing over to Jeongseon-eup.

In June 2012, a thrilling leisure facility was established in Byeongbangchi, a place filled with residents interest. It is called Byeongbangchi (Ari Hills) Skywalk, which has a U-shaped glass floor.

Byeongbangchi Skywalk is considered one of the “success stories” of Skywalk in Korea.

It was because of the role of gathering tourists in their 20s and 30s to the mountain village of Jeongseon.

Walking along the glass floor, you will see a chestnut island that resembles the landscape of the Korean Peninsula and a meandering Donggang River.

It is magnificent to see how it spreads out under your feet.
