Elle est décorée de nombreux stalagtites et stalagmites, de colonnes et d’autres, comme s’ils faisaient partie d’une forêt luxuriante. D’abondants dépôts d’origine animale font de la mine une énorme galerie de spécimens.

Bien qu’il s’agisse d’une mine petite et à part, Cheondong peut se vanter d’avoir un grand nombre d’atouts naturels splendides. Avec la Mine de Gosu (Monument naturel numéro 256) située à Gosu-ri (Danyang), celle de Cheondong est considérée comme l’une des plus belles mines de calcaire de Corée.

La légende raconte qu’un dragon a pris son envol vers le ciel depuis la vallée de Darian. La vallée de Darian tient son nom de la vue théâtrale des chutes d’eau passant sous un pont. Prenant sa source au pic de Biro dans la montagne Sobaeksan, l’eau s’écoule à travers la vallée de Darian, Cheongdong, Geumgok, et la cave de Gosu Donggul.

L’eau pure et glacée tourbillonne à travers les rochers aux formes curieuses de la vallée, entourée par une profusion d’arbres. C’est pour cette raison que la vallée est très populaire en été. La zone touristique de Darian, au centre de la vallée, attire des centaines de milliers de visiteurs venus admirer ses nombreux paysages. Des huttes, des terrains de camping, des barbecues et des sentiers de massage à base d’argile ont été aménagés pour le confort des familles et des randonneurs.

A proximité se trouvent la zone touristique de Cheondong (qui possède entre autres un terrain de camping caravaning, un terrain de golf et un parc aquatique), les sentiers de randonnée de la montagne Sobaeksan, Dodam Sambong et Seokmun (colonne de pierre en forme d’arc-en-ciel) qui forment l’un des huit paysages de Danyang, les cavernes de Gosu, Nodong et Cheondong, le studio de drama Ondal et la station de vacances forestière de Soseonam. Tous ces atouts font de Dangyang une destination à ne pas manquer.

Buseoksa est un temple très masculin. Contrairement aux autres temples coréens, sa dimension est importante, son architecture est plutôt simple et il offre une vue magnifique.
Le temple fut fondé en 676 par le moine Uisang (625-702) de Silla (B.C.57-A.D.935) sur l’ordre du roi Munmu (règne de 661 à 681), puis son hall principal Muryangsujeon(trésor national numéro 8) fut rénové à la 7ème année du règne (1016) du roi Hyeonjong (1010-1031) de la dynastie Goryeo par le moine Wonyoong(964~1053). Il fut rénové à plusieurs reprises plus tard.
La légende du moine Uisang et de la demoiselle Seonmyo, qui est rattachée à la construction de ce temple, est connue. La demoiselle Seonmyo, avec qui le moine Uisang fit la connaissance durant son séjour d’étude au Royaume des Tang, se jeta dans la mer à l’annonce de son départ et renaquit en dragon. Elle le suivit à Silla pour le protéger et fit flotter trois fois un rocher au-dessus du hall principal lors de sa construction pour le protéger des démons. D’où le nom du temple Buseok, le temple du rocher flottant. Ce rocher se trouve actuellement à gauche de ce hall.
On monte au temple de la porte d’entrée Cheonwang à la porte Anyang par 108 marches en pierre, qui symbolise la maîtrise des 108 angoisses de l’homme. Après la porte Ilju et Cheonwang se trouve la pagode à trois étages de Buseok. Vers le haut on voit le pavillon Beomjong. Plus haut encore, le pavillon Anyang qui signifie « l’entrée du paradis nous attend ». Après le pavillon Anyang, on arrive à Muryangsujeon, le hall principal du temple. Connu pour la beauté de ses lignes et de sa structure, il date de Goryeo et abrite un magnifique bouddha assis(trésor national numéro 45). Il contient plusieurs reliques et vestiges, à l’instar de Josadang, le deuxième vieux bâtiment du complexe (trésor national numéro 19)· la fresque de Josadang (trésor national numéro 46)· une lanterne de pierre en face du hall (trésor numéro 17).

The House of Sogang is an approximately 110-year-old house located in the village of Baraemi in Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do. It was originally built for and presented to Kim Chang-gi (pen-name: Sogang), a well-known local Confucian scholar who served as the head of the Dosanseowon Confucian Academy, and who happened to be the second son of Kim Roe-sik (pen-name: Namho), the great-grandfather of the current owner. Furthermore, the House of Namho, which is situated behind the House of Sogang, was built for the first son of Kim Roe-sik, one of the richest men in the region, who borrowed money using his entire property as security and donated it to a war chest. He won an official commendation for his role in helping secure national independence in 1977. The entire village pf Baraemi is composed of traditional square-shaped houses with tiled roofs set amid a clean and peaceful atmosphere, for which it was designated as a Traditional Cultural Village way back in 1922. The name of the village, Baraemi, implies that it was originally situated by the sea, and many shell remains have been found in paddy fields and puddles there over the last 60 years. The House of Namho is a typical square-shaped house with a tiled roof, and comprises a tall gate, a front courtyard, a sarangchae (men’s quarters) with maru (wooden floor), an inner courtyard, and a bonchae (main building) among its various structures. The main construction material of the house is Chunyang pine wood, which is a rarely used these days. Thanks to the owner-family’s dedicated maintenance and care, the house has been preserved in good condition. As the typical residence of a nobleman of the late Joseon period, the house is decorated with simple interior objects including an old electric fan and a cabinet inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The house has seven guestrooms in total: The sarangchae consists of the Keunsarang and Jakeunsarang, each with a capacity of 4 to 5 people, and the Araetbang with a capacity of 2 to 3 people. In summer, guests can rent the Jakeunsarang and Sarangdaecheong together, or the Araetbang and Marutbang together, in order to have more space. In addition, the anchae has a sangbang with a capacity of 3 to 4 people, while the mugangchae consists of Mungangbang 1, which is a red clay floor-heated room, and Mungangbang 2, which can accommodate 2 to 5 people. In summer it is possible to rent the entire House of Sogang, which can accommodate anywhere from 22 to 34 people (if the Sarangmaru and Marutbang are also rented). Guests of the Keunsarang and Jakeunsarang can use a communal refrigerator, and the entire building has Wi-Fi access. Clean bedding is also provided. Although the house doesn’t provide a breakfast, the owner offers guests sweetcorn, sweet potatoes, fruit, etc. The house is also equipped with a BBQ facility, so guests can enjoy a BBQ party in the evening. Guests can easily reach various nearby cultural heritage sites, including Muryangsujeon Hall of Buseoksa Temple, Sosuseowon Confucian Academy, which was the first Confucian Academy of Korea, Ojeon Mineral Spring, Daksil Village, and Chukseosa Temple.

Located in Bonghwa-eup, Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Bonghwa Namho Gutaek is an old house from the Chosun period designated as Cultural Property Material No. 385. It was built by Nongsan Kim Nam Yeong in 1876 and his son Namho Kim Roe Sik had lived there. Mr. Kim Roe Sik was awarded with a medal for contributing his entire asset to military fund for the Provisional Government of Korea. The spirit of putting others and his country before himself continues until now. Having been built with high-quality materials, the 140-year old Namho Gutaek has barely suffered any deformation. In addition, attentive care added by the descendants has kept the traditional beauty of the hanok intact. One may even feel reverence at the Sosel Daemun (gate). In harmony with the hanok, the garden in the yard and the flower bed sitting next to the wall change color as season changes. It is a great place to feel the scent of old trees and get some rest. In 2016, the shared toilet was renovated in modern style to alleviate any inconvenience for the guests. In the spacious yard, there’s a spot for traditional games such as Tuho, Jegichagi, Neoltuigi, etc. Bonghwa Station (Yeongdong Line) is about a 15- minute walk away; an inner city bus stop in the town, on the other hand, makes a trip to other regions easy.

This historic house has been the home of the descendants of Kim Yeo-byeong, one of the tenth-generation ancestors of its current occupants. Kim Yeo-byeong was born as the fourth son of Kim Seong-gu (courtesy name: Oheon, 1641-1707), founder of Uiseong Kim's Clan at Baraemi Village in Bonghwa and who was a great-great-great grandson of eminent Neo-Confucian official-scholar Kim U-goeng (courtesy name: Gaeam, 1524-1590). The house is comparatively large, featuring a square layout with a lofty five-bay gate building (soseuldaemun) and the main house of seven bays. The main building (anchae) of the house, located against the backdrop of a pine hill, is believed to have been built over 400 years ago before the founder of the family arrived at the village. The family guesthouse (sarangchae) was renovated in 1876 by Kim In-sik (courtesy name: Amun, 1855-1910), who served as the caretaker (Chambong) of Sunghyejeon Shrine, and Grand Master Tonghun before founding Joyang School, which would later become the present-day Bonghwa Elementary School. The name of the house, Tohyang, came from the courtesy name of Kim Jung-uk (1924-1967), a grandson of Kim In-sik. The latter was conscripted by the colonial authority ruling Korea at the time to serve the Japanese puppet state Manchukuo but fled during a military drill to become a freedom activist fighting against Imperial Japan in the Chinese cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou. He returned home after the 1945 Korean Liberation and studied in Jungang High School and Korea University before serving as a budget officer at the Economic Planning Board. The name of the house inscribed on the plaque hung under the roof of the gatehouse was written by his son Kim Jong-gu in honor of his life and achievements. At the front courtyard of the house is a lotus pond including barbecuing equipment and pottery kiln. In the rear garden is a folk playground with facilities and equipment for swinging, traditional Korean seesaw, shuttlecock-kicking, pitch-pot, and top spinning. The front courtyard also features rustic ceramic pots and rooftiles bearing poetic passages written by the mistress of the house who is a prize-winning poetess. The house provides visitors with an opportunity to experience traditional Korean cultural heritage such as pottery, calligraphy, poetry, and traditional musical instruments. Rich with the heritage of traditional Korean culture and lifestyle, the Historic House of Tohyang guides visitors to refreshment and healing obtained from the legacy of the peaceful rural life of days gone by.
