강경천의 채운교가 있는 강둑을 조금 거슬러 올라가면 시멘트로 만들어진 다리가 놓여 있고, 그 옆으로 작은 미내다리가 설치되어 있다. 전국 교역의 중요한 거점이 되었다는 강경포구가 있던 곳으로, 이 강을 ‘미내(渼奈)’라고 부른 것에서 유래하여 ‘미내다리’라고 부른다. 강경미내다리는 조선시대에 충청도와 전라도를 잇는 삼남에서 가장 큰 다리였다. 다리의 규모는 길이 30m, 너비 2.8m, 높이 4.5m이다. 긴 돌을 가지런히 쌓아 3칸의 무지개 모양을 만들고, 그 사이마다 정교하게 다듬은 돌을 가지런히 쌓아 올렸다. 다리의 강둑 쪽 중간쯤에는 형태를 정확히 알 수 없는 동물의 얼굴이 조각되어 있는데, 눈은 마치 장승의 눈과 같고, 코는 뭉툭하며, 얼굴 양옆으로 귀 모양과 갈기가 있다. 다리 옆에 놓여 있던 ‘은진미교비’는 국립부여박물관에 보관 중인데, 비문에 의하면, 조선 영조 7년(1731) 주민의 필요에 따라 강경촌 사람인 송만운이 주도하여 이 다리를 만들게 되었다고 한다.
This seowon was established in the 4th year of Injo (1626) under the name Hwangsan Seowon to honor Yi I and Seong Hon. Later, Kim Jang-saeng was added, and in the 6th year of Hyeonjong (1665), it received the name 'Juklim' from the king, becoming a royal-commissioned seowon, with memorial tablets of Jo Gwang-jo, Yi Hwang, and Song Si-yeol added. It was later dismantled due to Heungseon Daewongun’s seowon abolition decree. In 1946, a shrine altar was created to hold memorial rites, and in 1965, the shrine building was reconstructed. The seowon buildings include the entrance gate Hongsalmun, the outer gate, Dongjae, Seojae, the inner gate, and the shrine. To the right of the shrine are the stele for the reconstruction of Juklim Seowon and the stele of Hwangsan Seowon. The shrine measures 3 kan wide in front and 1 kan deep on the side, with a gabled roof shaped like the character '人' (person) as seen from the side.
Palgwaejeong, located by the Geum River, is a pavilion said to have been built by the scholar Song Si-yeol of the Joseon Dynasty in the 4th year of King Injo's reign (1626). It is known as a place where scholars and disciples of that era gathered to study while commemorating Toegye Yi Hwang and Yulgok Yi I. The pavilion faces south along the Geum River and measures 3 kan wide and 2 kan deep. The left two kan form a spacious main wooden floor, and the right one kan is an ondol-heated room. The roof features an elaborate paljak style, with the side forming the shape of the character for eight (八). Inside the building hangs a plaque inscribed with poetry, and on the rock behind the pavilion are characters carved by Song Si-yeol.
The Kangkyung Jungang Elementary School Auditorium is a building constructed with red bricks in the 1930s. Kangkyung Jungang Elementary School is the first school established in Nonsan and is the oldest school in Chungnam with alumni cohorts. Since its opening as the two-year private school Bomyung School on April 2, 1905, it changed its name several times: Gangkyung Gongnip Botong School in 1907 (4-year program), Gangkyung Jungjeong Gongnip Simsang Elementary School in 1938, Gangkyung Jungjeong Gongnip Gukmin School in 1941, and finally Kangkyung Jungang Elementary School in 1946. The auditorium is a single-story building built on June 30, 1937. It was donated by the Kanggyung Gongnip Botong School supporters' association to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the school's opening. Constructed with red bricks on a concrete foundation, the exterior walls are decorated with two-story white concrete bands dividing the walls, and the corners have brick-outset bands. The building follows the typical characteristics of auditorium architecture of the time, with white bands on the building that eliminate monotony and present an elegant style.
The former Ganggyeong Public Commercial School Official Residence is a cultural asset located within Ganggyeong Commercial High School in Ganggyeong-eup, Nonsan-si. Built in 1931, it is a one-story brick building. It features a high gable roof of ridge roof style, replacing the Japanese wooden structure with brick. The entrance uses a stone-finished porch, and the exterior is relatively well preserved, holding value as a modern historic residence. The interior has narrow, maze-like corridors with many rooms arranged in a Japanese-style layout. Ganggyeong Commercial High School, where the residence is located, can be accessed via Gyebaek-ro from National Route 23, Local Route 68, and Local Route 799. The nearest expressway interchanges are Yeonmu IC on Nonsan-Cheonan Expressway and Nonsan IC on Honam Expressway branch line. Public transport options include Honam Line Ganggyeong Station and Ganggyeong Bus Stop. Nearby attractions include Ganggyeong Modern Street, Ganggyeong Salted Seafood Market, Ganggyeong Port, Jugrimseowon, and Palgyejeong.
The former Ganggyeong Labor Union building is a modern structure built in 1925. Ganggyeong, connected to the West Sea via the Geum River and easily accessible inland, developed as a commercial hub early on. For that reason, Ganggyeong Market was regarded as one of the nation's top three markets alongside Pyongyang and Daegu, and Ganggyeong Port was known as one of the two major ports in the country, along with Wonsan Port, with active trade and movement of various seafood and industrial products. During the Japanese colonial period, it served as a channel for resource extraction; by the 1920s, most inland seafood distribution passed through Ganggyeong Port and was transported nationwide, leading to prosperity. At that time, the Ganggyeong Labor Union had 2,000 to 3,000 members and was active with about 200 ships loading and unloading daily. The Ganggyeong Labor Union building was constructed as a Korean-style wooden structure in 1925 by the union president Jeong Heung-seop, who personally invested 5,000 won, completing the union office on October 3 of the same year. The building had a two-story structure with a floor area of 70.08㎡ per floor and total area of 140.16㎡, consisting of five bays in front and three bays on the side, with the entire first floor opened for office space. The Ganggyeong Labor Union changed to a federation system as the Ganggyeong branch of the National Dockworkers' Union in 1953, later reduced to a contact office, and eventually dissolved. Since 1935, the building was used as a factory or warehouse regardless of its original purpose; photos from the 1940s show the building changed to a single-story structure, which can be understood in relation to the decline of the labor union. The former Ganggyeong Labor Union building, along with the registered cultural heritage sites of the former Hanil Bank Ganggyeong Branch, Ganggyeong Lock Gate, and Ganggyeong Chaeunsan Drainage Pump Station, symbolically represents the prosperous face of modern Ganggyeong.
