Meanwhile, flowing from the north to the west and joining into Namhangang River, Gapyeongcheon Stream and Jojongcheon Stream flowing along slopes of the mountains form plenty of spacious flats in the area. Gapyeong and Cheongpyeong are located at the confluence of both rivers and Bukhangang River, where a 15km of valley was formed between both regions. In that area, Gyeongchun Nat¡¯l road and railway have been constructed as an important transportation site from the old times. |
