   Pyochungsa Temple

   표충사

   This is a temple named by the state to honor the patriotic spirit of the great Buddhist monk Samyeongdaesa, who achieved significant merit during the Imjin War. While the temple was rebuilt in 1715 (the 41st year of King Sukjong's reign), all its buildings, except for the Eungjinjeon Hall, were destroyed in a fire in 1926. The temple was later reconstructed, and the buildings you see today are the result of that restoration.

   Twin Tunnel

   트윈터널

   Twin Tunnel is a theme park of light and characters, created by transforming an abandoned Gyeongbu Line railway tunnel. Inside, nearly 100 million lights illuminate the space, filling it with countless photo zones. The tunnel is divided into 10 different themed sections, each offering unique experiences. The Twin Tunnel was originally a railway tunnel built under the order of King Gojong during the late Joseon Dynasty and was once used by trains. Although no longer in use, the tunnel has long been shrouded in mystery, with local legends of ghostly lights appearing during the Japanese colonial era and stories of people finding glowing stones that brought them great fortune. These mystical tales of light have now been combined with creative characters to form a unique theme park. The tunnel maintains a constant temperature year-round, making it pleasantly cool in summer and warm in winter.

   Wiyangji

   위양지

   This is a popular travel destination, considered one of the Eight Scenic Views of Miryang. The majestic cluster of fringe trees that lines the reservoir boasts a picturesque landscape throughout all four seasons. The best time to visit Wiyangji Pond is in the spring when the fringe tree blossoms are in full bloom, looking as if they are covered in white snow. On a clear day, the reflection of the fringe trees on the pond is as beautiful as a watercolor painting.
