The recreational forest facility is equipped with convenient facilities, including accommodations, a sports field, seminar rooms, and swimming pool and campfire sites. It also serves as a great field trip destination due to its well-preserved nature and small wild animals witnessed on site.
Namwon Silsangsa Temple (실상사(남원))
94-129, Ipseok-gil, Namwon-si, Jeonbuk-do
Silsangsa Temple was constructed by Monk Jeunggak, as one of nine special temples in the year 828. The temple was established because of the theory of divination, based on topology. The belief held that Korea’s good spirit would be taken away to Japan, bringing bad luck if the temple was not constructed at this particular location. The temple was reconstructed in the 26th year of King Sukjong’s reign (1700) after it was completely destroyed during the Imjin War (1592-1598). However, it was almost burnt down in the 19th year of King Gojong’s reign (1882). It is presently preserved just as it was during the Unified Silla Kingdom, with its three-story pagoda and its 11 treasures with a total of 17 cultural assets. The entrance of the temple lies in the middle of a rice field and the temple has a pastoral view, surrounded by trees. From the entrance, visitors can cross the half-moon shaped stone bridge to find a remarkable totem pole.

The exhibition hall displays awardwinning craft works and various lacquered crafts such as bowls, furniture, spoons and chopsticks, cabinets with flower and grass designs, tables, janggu (hourglass-shaped drum) sticks, and utensils used in ancestral rites.

Namyangju Sareung Royal Tomb [UNESCO World Heritage] (남양주 사릉(정순왕후) [유네스코 세계문화유산])
180, Sareung-ro, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do
Sareung Royal Tomb is the tomb of Queen Jeongsun (1440-1521), a consort to King Danjong. She was perhaps the most tragic royal woman of the Joseon dynasty. In 1453, she was selected to be queen out of many candidates and actually became the queen two years later. However, when King Danjong was forced to abdicate from the throne in 1457 and was exiled to Yeongwol in Gangwon-do, Queen Jeongsun was deprived of her title as well. After King Danjong died, she built a thatched-roof house outside Seoul’s Dongdaemun Gate and lived there for the rest of her life, continuing to mourn her husband. The tomb’s name, Sareung, came from the fact that she had missed her dead husband so much. Unlike other royal tombs, Sareung looks very simple. Its size is relatively small.
