Located near Yeoncheon Gorangpo Historic Park, Yeoncheon Gyeongsunwang Tomb is the burial site of Gyeongsunwang, the 56th and final king of Silla (reigned 927–935). His family name is Kim, and his given name is Bu; he was a sixth-generation descendant of the 46th Silla king Munseongwang (reigned 839–857) and the son of ichan Hyojong. After King Gyeae died in 927 during an attack by Later Baekje's Gyeon Hwon, Gyeongsunwang ascended the throne. In 935, he surrendered to Goryeo's Wang Geon, relinquishing the kingdom and leading to Silla's fall. Upon surrender, his eldest son, Prince Ma-ui, opposed submission and went to Mount Geumgang, while his youngest son entered Hwaeomsa Temple as a monk. After surrender, Gyeongsunwang was honored with the posthumous title Jeongseunggong, ranked above the crown prince, and Silla was renamed Gyeongju as his fief, where he served as sashimgwan (regional official). He remarried King Taejo Wang Geon's eldest daughter, Princess Nakrang, and had several children. The tomb is a circular earthen mound about 3m high and 7m in diameter, surrounded by flat stones. It is enclosed by a fence called gokjang, common in Goryeo royal tombs, indicating the tomb was built with royal honors. It is the only Silla royal tomb located outside Gyeongju, in Gyeonggi-do. The tombstone in front is inscribed with "Silla Gyeongsunwang Ji Neung" (新羅敬順王之陵), and the inscription on its back dates the tombstone to 1747 (23rd year of King Yeongjo). The Chunhyang and Chuhyang rituals are held annually in spring and fall. A guide house operates at the tomb where cultural explanations are available if needed. The site is about a 26-minute drive from Dangdong IC. Nearby attractions include Yeoncheon Gorangpo Historic Park, Yeoncheon Horogoru, British Army Seolmari Battle Memorial Park, Yulgok Yi I Historical Site and Hwaseokjeong, Imjingak (Pyeonghwa Nuri Park), Odusan Unification Observatory, Heyri Art Village, and Paju Samneung World Cultural Heritage Site.

Sungui-jeon Site [崇義殿址] is the location where Sungui-jeon stood during the Joseon Dynasty, a shrine that enshrined the spirit tablets of kings and meritorious subjects from the previous Goryeo Dynasty and conducted memorial rites. Originally, this place was home to Angamsa Temple [仰巖寺], the original temple of Goryeo's founder King Taejo Wang Geon [王 建]. In 1397, a shrine was established here to enshrine the spirit tablet of King Taejo, becoming the origin of the current Sungui-jeon. After the shrine was built, in 1399 (the 1st year of King Jeongjong's reign), by royal decree, spirit tablets of eight Goryeo kings—including Taejo, Hyejong [惠宗], Seongjong [成宗], Hyeonjong [顯宗], Munjong [文宗], Wonjong (Chung-gyeong King 元宗), Chungnyeolwang [忠烈王], and Gongminwang [恭愍王]—were enshrined. The currently reconstructed buildings consist of Sungui-jeon, measuring three kan in front and three kan in depth, along with five auxiliary buildings: Baesincheong, Iancheong, Jeonsacheong, etc., as well as three gates—Naesinmun, Oesinmun, and Hyupmun—and six gates including Unjomon.

Dangposeong Fortress maximized the use of terrain, building stone fortress walls only on the east side, connected by flat land without vertical cliffs. The east fortress wall is about 50m long and remains approximately 6m high, with a length of about 200m from the east wall to the west end of the fortress, and an overall circumference of about 450m. Most stones used for construction were processed local basalt, a major characteristic of Goguryeo fortresses. Behind Dangposeong Fortress lies Majeonhyeon, a route to Gaeseong, making the fortress essential for defending against northern enemies approaching the Yangju basin area by the shortest route. It also held a very important position for defending against southern enemies, indicating it was used continuously even during the Silla occupation period.

Jaein Waterfall has long been widely known as a scenic spot. The waterfall is formed where a small stream flowing down from Jijangbong in the north pours down an approximately 18m high basalt columnar joint cliff, creating a spectacular sight. Around Jaein Waterfall, it is also known as a habitat for natural monuments such as Eoreumchi and endangered species like the pink dragonfly. A beautiful love story related to the name of the waterfall has been passed down. Various basalt features can be observed at Jaein Waterfall, notably columnar joints, undercut caves, potholes, and gas tubes. The waterfall, about 18m high, continues to erode the area below it, forming a pothole with a depth of 5m. A pothole is a deep hole formed when whirlpools occur in concave or broken parts of river rocks.

태풍전망대는 천하무적 태풍부대에서 1991년 12월 3일 건립한 것으로, 서울에서 약 65km, 평양에서 약 140km 떨어진 중면 비끼산의 가장 높은 수리봉에 위치한다. 처음에는 군사분계선을 기점으로 2km 지점에 남방 한계선과 북방 한계선이 설정되었으나, 1968년 북한이 휴전선 가까이 철책을 설치함에 따라 우리나라도 1978년에 부분적으로 철책을 설치하였다. 태풍전망대는 휴전선까지 800m, 북한 초소까지는 1,600m의 거리에 떨어져 위치하고 155마일 휴전선상 북한과 가장 가까운 전망대로 유명하다.
