A visitor walking from the Beomeosa Gregarious Wisteria Habitat along Beomeocheon Stream will find a spectacular heap of rocks extending from Geumgangam Hermitage to the North Gate of Geumjeongsanseong Fortress. This area, called Dolbada (" Sea of Rocks" ), is 70m wide and 2.5km long.

It was formed by the natural process of water freezing and melting repeatedly in nearby chasms. The murmuring sound of water flowing to down Daeseongam Hermitage was thought to inspire religious faith, and it is regarded as one of the Eight Scenic Views of Geumjeong, and has the special name of Daeseong Eunsu (" Silver Water of Daeseong").
