Towangseong Falls, Waterfall in Seoraksan National Park, South Korea.

Towangseong Falls is a multi-tiered waterfall system in Seoraksan National Park that drops down steep rock faces in succession. The cascade comprises several sections stacked one above another, with each section separated by rocky ledges and stone formations.

Towangseong Falls was closed to the public from 1970, when Seoraksan became a national park, until 5 December 2015, when a trail extension from Biryong Falls opened an observation deck after 45 years. On 11 March 2013 it was designated Scenic Site No. 96 of South Korea. It is also called Singwang Falls.

The falls are also called Singwangpokpo, and the name Towangseong refers to a legendary king of the soil. Water feeding the cascade rises at Hwachaebong Peak to the south and, after the three drops, runs through Towang Valley past Biryong and Yukdam falls into Ssangcheon Stream. The stream is usually thin and becomes clearly visible only during or just after rain.

The waterfall can be reached by hiking along a path that takes several hours and passes through forest and rocky terrain. There is an observation area near the falls where visitors can get good views and take photographs.

The stream below the falls passes Biryong Falls and Yukdam Falls before joining the Ssangcheon. The upper drop measures 150 m, the middle 80 m and the lower 90 m, and the falls are usually dry except during or just after rain.
