Jaeryeong

Chaeryŏng lies amid the broad lowlands of Hwanghae, where rivers drain the fertile plain toward the western sea. The Chaeryŏng plain extends across several neighbouring districts and has long been known for its rice, which was presented to the royal household. South of the lowlands, Mount Changsu rises above valleys and temples; the winding Sŏktong valley was celebrated for its cliffs and scenery.
