Mt Sambong
There is a Korean saying as follows "Mountains and rivers change every ten years." The meaning of the saying is that people, although they live with nature, have no power to change mother nature.
There is a small town in Jeongseoneup Bongyang 7 Ri named Jeokgeori. There aren't any traditional style houses, only modern buildings. Long ago, the town was pleasant and the citizens were friendly. In front of the town there was a three peaked mountain called Mt Sambong. People were touched by the beauty of Mt Sambong and the scenery around it. The Joyang river ran through the area, and there were scenic cliffs and birds singing in the trees. But in 1605, Mt Sambong was carried away in a heavy flood and disappeared permanently.
After the flood the people decided to go looking for Mt Sambong. So five strong men followed the river for 15 days but couldn't find anything. When the five stopped to camp in a forest, one of them spotted three beautiful peaks in the far distance beyond the forest. The five men ran with all their strength to get to the three peaks, but when they arrived they found only three large piles of rocks in Danyang County. The men collected a kind of a tax from the Danyang people because "Mt Sambong" was now in Danyang. This went on for a number of years, until one day the Danyang people said that they could no longer afford to pay. They told the Jeokgeori people to take "Mt Sambong" back to Jeokgeori. However the Jeokgeori people returned home with neither "Mt Sambong" or the tax. "Mt Sambong" remains in Danyang county until the present day.
