The Yeongsan River is a river in south-western South Korea. It has a length of 115.5 km, and covers an area of 3,371 km2. Yeongsan River starts from the Yongchubong Peak (龍湫峰:560 m) located in Yong-myeon, Damyang County, South Jeolla Province. It runs through Damyang, Naju, Yeongam and other regions and eventually flows into the Yellow Sea at Mokpo through the estuary bank.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“It is ... despair at the mutability of all created things that links the Artist and the Ascetic—a desire to purify and preserve—to set oneself apart—somehow—from the river flowing onward to the grave.”
—Michele Murray (1933–1974)
