This work from the Album of Paintings of Geumgangsan Mountain presents the scenic landscape of Baekcheongyo at Geumgangsan Mountain. It is said that visitors to the mountain during the Joseon period would begin pleasure hikes at Mancheongyo and end them at Baekcheongyo. Most of the paintings in the collection contain no human figures, or if they do, they appear so tiny as to be barely visible.
