beneath the cliffs of Yongmasan 🍁
The 2026 Jungnang Yongma Waterfall Festival

This is Jungnang-gu’s autumn cultural festival

Yongma Waterfall Park was created on the rocky cliffs

There are three waterfalls.
The central Yongma Waterfall is two-tiered and 51.4m high,
the left Cheongryong Waterfall is 21m,
and the right Baekma Waterfall is 21.4m.
The festival venue is divided into four zones,
