In the Nature of Cheongsong Centered on Juwangsan | Travel Course | K-Travel Mate

Juwangsan (720.6m) is located on a branch of the Taebaek mountain range, which forms the backbone of the Baekdudaegan mountain system in the Korean Peninsula. It is one of Korea's three major rocky mountains, known for its numerous rocky peaks and deep, picturesque valleys. Designated as a tourist attraction on May 30, 1972, it became the 12th national park on March 30, 1976. The park covers a total area of 105.582 km², spanning five myeon in two counties, Cheongsong-gun and Yeongdeok-gun. To the north lie Seoraksan and Odaesan National Parks, and to the south Gyeongju, while to the west are the national parks of Songnisan and Deogyusan. Peaks include Taehangsan, Dusuram, and Gamebong, and valleys such as Jubang, Jeolgol, and Wolae are scattered throughout. With hundred-meter-high rocks standing like a folding screen, it was called Seokbyeongsan in the Silla period and renamed Juwangsan from the late Unified Silla period. Besides four waterfalls, Juwangsan has caves, Daejeonsa Temple, and its associated hermitages, making it a place rich in natural tourist resources.

Jungpyeong Pine Forest is a pine forest of about 3,000 pyeong located at the entrance of Jungpyeong-ri, Pacheon-myeon, Cheongsong, featuring over 80 pine trees over 200 years old forming a dense forest. It is a typical biborim (protective forest) that prevents the beneficial energy of the village from leaking outside and has a significant aesthetic function to prevent outsiders from recklessly looking into the village. Inside the forest, it provides a comfortable resting place for villagers and travelers. Jungpyeong Pine Forest has well-maintained grounds and is near Yongjeoncheon stream, equipped with camping facilities such as decks for tents and showers, making it an ideal place for light summer vacations with family while fishing. The village is known as Jungpyeong Seonbi Village in Cheongsong, an international slow city, where visitors can experience the atmosphere of hanok and the spirit of old scholars, as well as tour Pyeongsan Shinssi Pansagongpa ancestral house, Seobyeok Old House, and Sanam Old House, all designated National Folk Cultural Properties in 2014.

Sayang Seowon, located at the foot of Pilbong in Jungpyeong-ri, Pacheon-myeon, Cheongsong, enshrines Munjeonggong Shin Hyeon, the 12th generation descendant of Shin Sung-gyeom, a founding meritorious subject of Goryeo, as the main figure, and his son Munhwangong and late Goryeo scholar Unkok Won Cheonseok as the east and west ancestral tablets. Scholars who honored Munjeonggong Shin Hyeon built Hwahaesa Temple under Gyeryongsan Mountain in Chungnam in 1932 and enshrined his memorial tablet there. Due to Unkok editing the biography of Shin Hyeon called Hwahaesajeon, they were enshrined together. Later, when the seowon’s land was redistributed during land reform, it was relocated to its current site and named Sayang Seowon, keeping the commemorative plaque intact. The Hwahaesa plaque is said to have been written by Baekbeom Kim Gu. Shin Hyeon passed the state exam during King Chungsuk’s reign in Goryeo and studied with scholars in Yuan, further dedicating himself to scholarship and becoming a great scholar. Unkok Won Cheonseok taught Crown Prince Bangwon of Joseon Taejong and was repeatedly invited to serve by Taejong, but he refused out of loyalty to Goryeo and lived in seclusion. At the village entrance, a pine forest of about 3,000 pyeong with around 80 two-hundred-year-old pine trees forms a dense forest.
