The Danyang Hyangsan-ri Three-story Stone Pagoda stands in the middle of a field in a mountain valley located 16 km east of Danyang-eup. Mukhoja, who spread Buddhism in Silla, established a temple called Hyangsansa; after his nirvana, his disciples built this stone pagoda at the site and enshrined Mukhoja's relics. After the temple was destroyed during the Imjin War, the site remained in ruins for about 400 years, with only the Hyangsan-ri Three-story Stone Pagoda maintaining its original appearance. Pottery shards and roof tiles scattered nearby indicate the site was once a temple, but no other traces remain. Around 1935, villagers rebuilt the pagoda after it collapsed due to relic theft. This three-story stone pagoda with a triple platform follows the typical Silla stone pagoda style and is a modest small pagoda inheriting the 9th-century three-story tower form. Part of the pillar-shaped ornament at the top of the pagoda remains preserved to this day.

Handeumi Village is located in Eoigok-ri, originally part of Yeongchun-gun Daegok-myeon, known as a large valley called Yeong-eusil or Eoigok. In 1914, due to administrative district consolidation, Sanguigok, Hauigok, Hangokdong, Guik, Uljin, and Myeonggilli were merged into Eoigok-ri and incorporated into Danyang-gun Gagok-myeon. The fresh breeze from Sobaeksan, the clean stream inhabited by mountain trout, and the generous spirit in the embrace of nature make Handeumi a quiet and peaceful village full of comfort and warmth. Surrounded by mountains, fields, valleys, and natural caves, Handeumi Village offers a variety of interesting and enjoyable experiences.
