Dong River (South Korea)

The Dong River is a river in Yeongwol and Jeongseon county, South Korea. It remains the cleanest river and region in a country that has undergone sharp industrial development. It is a tributary to the South Han River that covers an area of 60 km. The Donggang River follows a snake-like path splitting the chiselled cliffs surrounding it. Many tourists visit the area to see rare animals such as otters, Mandarin ducks, and Chinese scop owls. It is largely recommended to experience rafting in Donggang. However, the tourists are getting together year by year and water pollution is concerned within river area.
