As the scorching heat of July and August sets in, many families are looking for refreshing valleys to visit with their children in Gyeongnam.
Byeolchung Valley in Ham-an is a renowned spot for clean water activities, featuring shallow depths and plenty of shade, making it an ideal resting place for families with kids.
Located at 483 Judong-ri, Yeohang-myeon, Ham-an-gun, Byeolchung Valley boasts clear waters year-round, with various pools along the valley, making it a perfect summer getaway.
To reach the valley, simply input '483 Judong-ri, Yeohang-myeon, Ham-an-gun, Gyeongnam' into your GPS.
Although a blue barrier is set up at the parking lot entrance, vehicles can still enter easily. A spacious parking area is available, accommodating many cars even on weekends.
There are clean restrooms well-maintained near the parking lot, conveniently close to the valley.
Byeolchung Valley features pools that can reach waist-deep levels on high water days. Currently, due to a lack of rain, the water isn’t very deep, but it’s essential for children to wear life jackets for safety.
Life jackets for kids are available for free rental at the parking lot, but bringing personal safety gear or tubes is advisable for a safer experience.
Don't forget to warm up before swimming! It's essential to wet your chest first, swim with a guardian, and refrain from drinking alcohol while swimming!
At the entrance of Byeolchung Valley, a banner illustrates safety rules for water activities, making it easy for kids to understand.
Crossing the bridge leads to a spacious area with clean pavement and large resting spots where visitors can sit and enjoy the soothing sounds of flowing water.
The walking path alongside the resting area is beautifully lined with European hydrangeas, making it an attractive spot for both water activities and summer flower viewing.
While you can relax here, cooking and setting up tents are prohibited, so bringing simple snacks and drinks would be a good idea.
The valley's shallow waters and gentle currents make it safe for young children to enjoy water play. The surrounding trees provide ample shade, making it a refreshing escape from the summer heat.
The water is clear enough to observe small fish or catch snails, and the temperature is comfortable for kids to play for extended periods.
Families enjoying water activities in the refreshing valley create a perfect summer scene.
However, the upper part of the valley is restricted due to large rocks, preventing access to avoid slipping accidents.
While it may be disappointing for some, safety should always come first, so it’s best to enjoy the water play around the bridge.
With safety personnel on site, parents can feel at ease, but parental supervision is the best safety measure. Byeolchung Valley is perfect for visiting with young children.
Byeolchung Valley, a water activity hotspot in Ham-an, offers clean waters, comfortable resting areas, and vibrant summer flowers, making it an excellent choice for a light summer outing.
Why not enjoy safe water play and a refreshing walk along the hydrangea path this summer? Experience the coolness of Ham-an with your children!
