The city of Yesan is home to two notable markets: Yesan Fifth-day Market, which dates back to the 1920s, and Yesan Market, a permanent traditional market. Yesan has historically been a prolific producer of agricultural and livestock products, and the market served as a central point of regional specialties. In fact, Yesan apples are famous across Korea. On days ending with 0 and 5, a fifth-day market is held, which makes the market far larger and livelier. Yesan Rice Soup Street can also be found here.

Seosan Maaesamjonbul (Rock-Carved Buddha Triad) is carved into a huge rock
cliff at the entrance to Bowonsa Temple at Gayasan Mountain. The Rock-Carved
Buddha was discovered in 1958, and is considered the oldest and one of the most
outstanding Buddha rock carvings in Korea.
Standing Buddha stands in
the center, the cross-legged Buddha is to the right, and Standing Bodhisattva
is on the left. The main Buddha, Yearaeipsang (Standing Buddha) is 2.8m high.
All sculptures carved in the middle of Baekje (6th century) are called
"Baekje's Smile," named for their trademark bright smiles. The appearance
of the smile changes depending on the direction of the sunlight, so these statues
were designated as National Treasure No. 84. The best time to see the smile
is from 9-11 a.m.
The location, an important site along a key transportation
route from China to Baekje, is on the way to Buyeo from the Taean peninsula.
The masterful work represents the active interchange of culture with China during
that time period.

The exact founding date of Munsusa Temple is unknown because there are no official records that have been discovered. The temple is estimated to date back to the Goryeo dynasty due to a prayer found in 1973 at the Gilt-bronze Seated Buddha in the temple’s Geungnaksiljeon Hall dated 1346. Around 600 items were discovered along with the prayer, including unbleached ramie cloth, a short-sleeved gown, rice, and barley. Munsunsa has the tranquil atmosphere of a mountain temple. When spring arrives, cherry blossom flowers and wild flowers bloom across the mountain and the nearby cattle farm call to mind a traditional Korean painting.
Munsusa Temple's Geungnaksiljeon Hall is a beautiful building constructed in the Jusimpo style (the column brackets placed only on top of the columns) combined with Dapo style (the column brackets placed between columns as well as on top of the columns). It is designated as Chungcheongnam-do Tangible Cultural Property No. 13. Inside the gorgeously and majestically carved hall are many relics including Gilt-bronze Seated Buddha, Samsebulsang statues (statues of Buddhas of Three Times (past, present and future)), Nahansang statues (statues of disciples of Buddha), and various portraits of Buddha.
The Gilt-bronze Seated Buddha (x_height: 70cm, length between knees: 50cm) was created in 1346. It is a fine example of late Goryo dynasty style Buddha statue along with Gilt-bronze Seated Bhaisajyaguru Buddha of Janggoksa Temple (Treasure No.337).
