A great way to enjoy Danyang’s scenic corners, known as the Eight Scenic Views of Danyang, is by hopping onto the tour boat departing at Janghoe Ferry Terminal.

Afloat on the gentle waves of the Namhangang River, tourists can approach the awe-inspiring sheer cliffs and rock formations assuming myriads of shapes, in a way a foot tour does not permit. The round trip takes about one hour.
