Chung-uisa, located near Yesan Deoksan Hot Springs, is a historic site built where Yun Bong-gil (1908–1932) was born and lived until he went to China, and it was selected as Yesan's second scenic spot. Yun Bong-gil was born and raised here, promoting the spirit of resistance against Japan and carrying out rural enlightenment movements. Later, he went to China and on April 29, 1932, at the Japanese army’s Shanghai Battle commemorative ceremony held in Hongkou Park, Shanghai, he threw a bomb to announce Korea’s will for independence to the world. The site preserves 'Gwanghyeondang,' the house where Yun Bong-gil was born; 'Jeohandang,' meaning 'the house that saves Korea,' where he lived until leaving for China; and 'Buhungwon,' where he conducted rural enlightenment activities. There are a historic monument and statue in honor of his achievements, Chung-uisa shrine to commemorate his spirit, and the Yun Bong-gil Memorial Hall exhibiting his belongings. A memorial ceremony honoring Yun Bong-gil is held annually on April 29, the day of the incident.

Located near the new city of Chungnam Provincial Government, Deoksan Oncheon District is a representative hot spring forming the hot spring area of Chungnam alongside Onyang Oncheon, Dogo Oncheon, and Asan Oncheon, and was selected as the 10th scenic site of Yesan-gun. It has appeared in various records for a long time; according to 'Chungbo' by Yulgok Yi I (1536-1584), a crane with injured wings and legs came flying, applied the water from this place to its wounds to heal, and then flew away. Upon checking where the crane had rested, warm and smooth water was gushing out. This shows how widely known it was as medicinal water before being developed into a hot spring in 1917. Deoksan Oncheon is a natural sodium bicarbonate hot spring with germanium content at over 45℃, said to be effective for muscle pain, arthritis, neuralgia, promoting blood circulation, removing subcutaneous fat, and enhancing cell regeneration. It is a representative tourist destination in Yesan, equipped with various hot spring facilities, hotels, lodging, and various restaurants within the hot spring district.
