Changsu Mountain is located in the southern part of the plain in Chaeryong County, South Hwanghae Province, North Korea, with deep mountains and valleys, towering peaks reaching into the clouds, and varying scenic views throughout the four seasons, which are loved by tourists. Its highest peak is 747 meters high, renowned for its unique natural landscapes such as strange rock formations, steep cliffs, and secluded valleys. Since ancient times, it has been known as the “Vajra of the Yellow Sea” in North Korea.

There are many cultural buildings on Changsu Mountain, including the “Xuang An” on the right side of the entrance cliff, which is said to have been built in the early Goryeo period. It is a rare cliff building in North Korea, similar to the “Pude An” in Mount Geumgang. In addition, Changsu Mountain City, built during the Goguryeo period, played a significant role in history. Of course, the natural landscapes of the mountain are also very attractive, with the most influential being the “12 Curves in the Stone Cave”, a 6-kilometer-wide cliff with heights ranging from 50 to 150 meters, winding like the mysterious Grand Canyon tourist area in the United States. Each curve is equipped with observation decks, pavilions, open-air dining halls, and restaurants to provide convenience for tourists.
