The Ninety-Nine Curves of Chonsang Stream is a natural monument situated in Sampho-ri, Yonsa County, North Hamgyong Province.

It is located in the valley through which the Chonsang Stream, a tributary of the Yonmyon River rising from Kwanmo Peak, flows.

There are high mountains like Kwanmo Peak and Mt Tojong near the stream.

The stream flows in a high place, hence the name Chonsang, and the Ninety-Nine Curves point to a large number of rocky curves in the stream.

The stream is also called a stony river with ninety-nine curves.

The bottom and both sides of the curves are bedrocks.

In the rainy season, the stream runs down swiftly with roaring sounds and, in the dry season, round stones, big and small, are exposed in different places.

The Ninety-Nine Curves of Chonsang Stream is of great scientific significance.
