Introducing Saldun Village
Saldun Village is a clean region located by the upstream of Naerincheon Stream in Nae-myeon Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do.  Well-known for its beautiful landscapes, this village is surrounded by Sutdol Peak, a 1,444m-high peak which divides Inje-gun and Hongcheon-gun as a stem of Mt. Bangtae.  The area round the mountain is called Samdunsagari, including Saldun, Woldun, and Daldun to the south and Achimgari, Yeongari, Jeokgari, and Myeongjigari to the north.
