About this work
The Nine-Dragon Falls 구룡포 is one of the popular tourist sites at the Diamond Mountain 금강산 in North Korea. Its V-shaped valley that opens into a rushing white waterfall is its major attraction, allowing visitors to experience the powerful forces of nature. In this painting, two excited scholar tourists accompanied by a Buddhist monk are enjoying both the spectacle and the roar generated by the cascading waterfall.
