The Upper Eight Pools are located in Outer Kumgang of Mt Kumgang, a celebrated mountain in the world.
They can be seen above the Kuryong Falls past the Pibong Falls in the Okryu Valley in Onjong-ri, Kosong County, Kangwon Province.
Both large and small pools with blue water, which look as if they were made artificially by long-time weathering, lie in tiers. Thy are called Upper Eight Pools to distinguish them from the Eight Pools in the Manphok Valley in Inner Kumgang.
The pools are circular, and get larger from the first one to the last one.
Their floors are clean and clear, and the distance from the first pool to the last one is about 500 metres.
The mysteriously-shaped pools that incorporate the beauty of both valleys and mountains present beautiful scenery.
A legend has it that in olden times eight fairies descended from the heaven to the pools and took a bath.
