In Boryeong, there is a place reminding the sentence, "When I got out of the tunnel, there was a snow world", which is the first sentence of Kawabada Yasnari's novel. That is "Seongju" tunnel. Passing through the Seongju tunnel, which connects downtown and Seongju-Myeon, gives us novel feeling as if we step in totally different world. All of a sudden, the ocean disappears from my sight, and the landscape changes to mountains on all sides. Resort of Seongju Mountain is located at this place. Seongjusan Mountain has been famous with Oseosan Mountain for representing Boryeong. Seongju means, literally, 'Saints live here'. Good pine trees, zelcova trees, oriental oak trees, snowbells and queritrons grow in the Seongjusan Mountain, and they are so thickly wooded that it is very dark in the mountain even at daytime. These trees exhale a fragrance called phytoncide. Trees exhale phytoncide to protect themselves during their growth and phytoncide has elements of sterilization. Trees exhale phytoncide mainly from early summer to late autumn. It is believed that breathing and touching phytoncide is very good for human being's psychological and physical health

Boryeong has rich phytoncide and fresh air, which are the best conditions for Wood Resort, so it is generally recommendable for tourists visiting Boryeong to go to Wood Resort. Climbing 5 hundred meters from the Main entrance of Wood resort toward the top of the mountain, you can find the Wood Resort, and there is another Wood Resort at Simyeon-Dong valley. In addition, the water running down the valley is very clean, and the valley has been famous for the landscape. People called this valley as Hwajang-valley, that means " Valley of Great graves" because there are 8 propitious sites for graves around Seongjusan Mountain, and one of them is hidden in this valley. People often come here to find the hidden propitious site for a grave until now. For 4 kilometers, a thick grows trees and clean water valleys get joined together in good harmony and that is what we call "Natural Beauty" itself. When you climb from Seongju concourse of three streets to Simyeon-Dong, you can see a beautiful valley, Simyeon-Dong Valley. If you climb from Seongju Wood Resort to the top of the mountain, and down to the backside, then you can meet the Simyeon-Dong valley. "Simyeon-Dong" means, literally, a village with deep valleys, so people had called this village "Simyeon-Dong"

Boryeong city takes charge for the Seongju Wood Resort. Going into the valley from the ticket cage, you can meet a pool, which is mainly for children. However the water of the pool is from the valley, so it is very cool at summer. Everybody likes to play in the pool. Besides the pool, there are lots of facilities such as a forest path, a grassplot, a physical training plot and a camping ground in the valley to meet the visitors' needs.
