Located in the rugged northeastern portion of Yeongyang County, it is the largest of the county's six divisions, covering some 217.59km2. More than 90% of that area is unused by humans; the local population numbers only 2,016.[1] Of these, 67% are members of farming households which are divided among 15 ri.

Local attractions include the site of a kiln from the 17th century, and a medicinal spring that is said to have cured the illness of Joseon Dynasty scholar Yakcheon Geum Hui-seong.
