Tamjingang River, 56 kilometers long in total, is one of the major three rivers (Yeongsangang, Seomjingang and Tamjingang) of Jeollanam-do region that crosses through the center of Jangheung-eup, passing Busan-myeon. It was formerly known as Yeyanggang River, but the name changed to Tamjingang River when the residents of Tamnado Island (now Jeju Island) sailed down the river for the first time. At each river bend is a time-honored pavilion for for visitors to rest and enjoy the gentle breeze from the river. The scenic beauty of the crystal clear water of the river stands complements the lush forest rocky areas of the mountains nearby.
