23st Scenic Spot - Hotanam
It is a big rock located at the point around 0.7km away from 'Geumpotan'. A big rock blocks the way at this place where the water sound, which is gushed out between the thickly-wooden forest trees, sounds cool and since it is covered with the wild mountain bamboo trees growing around, it makes someone feel horrible with a thought that there might be a tiger preparing to rush onto a person. There is a legend saying that while a tiger at Mt. Chilbul went on an errand for the mountain god, slipped down to death here.

Since the water, which is pooled into a pond stopping its flow from a valley, is clear enough beyond description, it looks like a mirror. So, it obtained its name, 'Myeongkyeongdam'. It has been said that there was a monk's cave, so called 'Myeongkyeongamja', in old days.
