한반도내 유일한 고구려비로 5세기 말에 세워진 것으로 추정된다. 700여 자의 비문 중 200여 자만 판독이 가능한 상태이며 그 내용을 미루어 보아 장수왕이 한강유역을 개척한 기념비로 여겨진다. 1979년 2월 25일 문화재 애호단체인 [예성동호회]에서 발견, 같은 해 4월 8일 서울 단국대학교 박물관 학술조사단에 의하여 고구려 시대의 석비로 판명됐다.

The National Treasure, the 7-story stone pagoda of Chungju Tappyeong-ri, is a stone pagoda from the Unified Silla period that harmonizes well with the beautiful scenery of the Namhan River. It is the largest among stone pagodas built at that time, and is also called Jungangtap because it is located in the central part of Korea. Around Jungangtap, there is a sculpture park on a wide lawn, and the Chungju Museum and Liquor Museum are located nearby. Additionally, Tanggeum Lake, formed by the Namhan River and the adjacent Jojeongji Dam, offers water leisure activities in summer, presenting Chungju as a resort and leisure sports destination.

[운정식당] 올뱅이(올갱이)는 예로부터 위장에 좋다고 하며 우리 옛 선인들이 즐겨 먹던 음식이다. [신라정] 25년 전통의 민물전문 음식점이다. 소스는 장어뼈를 푹 곤 물에 갖은 양념을 한 후 은근한 숯불에 소스를 묻혀가며 세벌구이를 한 것을 양파 올린 돌판을 달궈 장어를 식지 않게 올려낸다.

Chungju Tangeumdae is named after the site where Ureuk, one of Korea's three great musical saints, played the gayageum. It is historically significant as the place where General Shin Rip, following defeat by So Seo-haeng during the Imjin War, committed suicide. Originally called Daemunsan, this hill features scenic cliffs winding along the Namhan River and dense pine forests. The name Tangeumdae comes from Ureuk, a musician of the Gaya kingdom forcibly relocated here 1,400 years ago during the reign of Silla’s King Jinheung. Ureuk made his home in the cliffs of Tangeumdae, playing the gayageum while enjoying the scenery. Enchanted by his melodies, people gathered, forming a village named Tangeumdae. The beautiful landscape includes the Namhan River curving around cliffs, thick pine groves, and views from the terrace of the Namhan River, Gye-myeong Mountain, Namsan, Chungju city, and broad plains creating a picturesque panorama.

This shrine was built to honor the loyalty of General Im Gyeong-eop (1594–1646). The shrine was established in the 23rd year of King Sukjong's reign (1679), and in 1706 the general was given the name Chungmin. In the 3rd year of King Yeongjo’s reign (1727), the shrine's name was changed to Chungnyeolsa. General Im Gyeong-eop was born in Chungju in 1594 (27th year of King Seonjo’s reign) and made great achievements during Yi Gwal’s Rebellion in 1624 (2nd year of King Injo’s reign). Notably, during the Byeongjahoran, he rebuilt Baekma Fortress and Uiju Fortress, significantly strengthening the nation’s defense. A supporter of the Ming dynasty, in 1642 (30th year of King Injo’s reign), when the Ming was threatened by the Qing, he planned to collaborate with Ming forces against the Qing but was captured by Qing troops after the plan was exposed. Despite multiple offers by the Qing to win his allegiance, he never wavered. Later, in 1646, he was wrongfully implicated in the domestic “Sim Gi-won Rebellion Incident,” subjected to harsh torture in prison, and killed. Currently, the shrine exhibits the general’s belongings, and on the left side in front of the shrine stands the “Statue of Lady Wansan Yi,” commemorating the righteous integrity of the general’s wife.

Chungju Danhosa Temple is a branch temple of the Taego Order of Korean Buddhism and was reconstructed during the reign of King Sukjong in the late Joseon Dynasty. It was called 'Yaksa' at the time of reconstruction and renamed Danhosa in 1954, continuing to the present. Existing buildings include the main hall (Daeungjeon), Yaksa Hall, Yongwang Hall, and the monk's quarters, built as three-bay gabled houses. Inside Yaksa Hall is a seated iron Buddha statue designated as a treasure in 1976, estimated to have been made in the 11th century. This iron Buddha is a precious cultural artifact from the Goryeo period and aids in the study of regional artistic schools. Additionally, various cultural properties can be found, such as the Chungju Danhosa three-story stone pagoda, the seated statue of Avalokitesvara (a tangible cultural property of Chungcheongbuk-do), and the standing Maitreya Buddha. At Danhosa, regular Dharma meetings are held on the first and third Sundays of every month, as well as on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.
