Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Went by while going to Guinsa Temple and made a quick stop to check out the place. Place was pretty crowded as it was a usual tourist attraction place. There is a small hike on some step stairs to a top of a peak where you can see the 3 peaks better. Overall was nice to take some time and enjoy the view. Paid a small parking fee to park, but other than that we did not have to pay for anything else. There a couple of stores there where you can get drinks or food and relax for a bit before moving on.

A nice place to spend about 1 hour. Parking is not free but quite cheap. You can enjoy looking at the rocks/scenery and even take a short boat ride around the rocks if they are operating. From the car park you can also take a short 10 min walk up the cliff to see the stone gate.
My only complaint would be that you will stuggle to get any picture without a bridge or something it it. It is a place of natural beauty but quite heavily surrounded by man made constructions.

There are three rock islets standing in the middle of Nam Han River, it called as Dodamsambong. In the middle one called Husband Rock, looks like a figure of an imposing general. While in the south and north part of the rock, there are Wife Rock and Mistress Rock. It is said that Chung Do-jeon, the meritorious retainers in Joseon Dynasty, enjoyed his life here during his young days. According to story, Mt. Sambong was originally located Jeongsun-gun at Gangwon Province, but had drift down due to the flood and settled at Dodamdambong.

We were very disappointed with these famous peaks. It may look nice in pictures, but the tribute for this goes to the photographers. In reality what we saw was a very crowded area by the river with very ordinary rock formations in the (murky and shallow) water. Right in front of the rocks there was some construction and/or mining going on, so it added to the "charm" of the place, and was it noisy!
Next, if tourist guide books consider it such an important sight, one might expect that it would have good facilities. Not at all! We had lunch there which was hardly edible, beware! And this place is a sure winner for the dirtiest and most disgusting toilets in Korea we've seen in 7 years!!
Overall, I don't understand the fuss over these rocks, it is just a tourist trap. There are many many much more beautiful natural sights in both Danyang area and in other parts of Korea. After visiting Danyang, we went to the East coast, walked along the sea by Yeondeok Blue road and found rocks of all shapes and sizes there. The East coastline of mainland Korea or Jeju island are much more impressive. So if you have seen those, be sure, you can skip on Dodamsambong Peaks.

Was able to go with a friend who had a car, so I’m not sure about public transit. It was a nice view. Day was clear so we had good views. Stopped to have coffee afterwards. The area is nice. Worth a stop. Up the walk is also Seongmun. Worth the hike up and down the stairs.

This was a planned visit after reading about these rocks in Bird's book from 1897, recommended as a Korea primer. A lot has changed in Korea but these three rocks in the Hangang River remain. Sight is marred a bit by noisy speedboat rides and a huge mining operation in the background but worth the dive off the expressway.

It's amazing that three rocky islands in the middle of a river can draw so many tourists. But, the real draw to this place isn't the rocks in the water, instead, it's the natural bridge at the top of the ridgeline to the east of the three rocks. Park at the parking lot near the islands and walk up the hill towards the 'Stone gate'. It's a helluva climb on a Korean stairway (rise and run for each step is completely different), but once you get the natural bridge, it's a cool sight.

It's kinda interesting to think how these three rocks were built..
Also there's a history behind these three rocks that you should know
In addition, there is a garden with some flower in heart shape which very suitable for couples to take a picture. So, not only adults but also youngsters are recommend to visit this historical and natural place

it's a nice healing place for people. There is a story about the peaks. The wife rock turns her back to the husband rock because he married with another woman to have a son. That's it story
Anyways, the scenery here is nice. It's good to take a walk around here and feel the fresh atmosphere. There's also musical fountain at night.
There are some convenient stores here.
