Chiltan Seowon, located in Michon-ri, Danjang-myeon, was originally a shrine dedicated to Oh Han Son Giyang, who raised a righteous army at Seokdongsan in Miryang during the Japanese invasion of 1592, and who served as magistrate of Ulsan and county head of Yeongcheon during King Seonjo's reign. In the 10th year of King Heonjong's reign (1844), following the local Confucian scholars' petition, Cheongjeolsa was built on the grounds where Oh Han spent his later years, and later it was renamed Chiltan Seowon. At this time, the enshrinement gate and submission ritual writings were created by the scholar Jeongjae Yu Chimyeong. In the 5th year of King Gojong's reign (1868), it was destroyed due to the seowon abolition decree, but descendants renamed it Jeong and in 1914 erected the 'Chiltan Seowon Site Monument' on the site of Cheongjeolsa to commemorate it.

Man-eo-sa Temple is located on the 8th ridge of Man-eo Mountain, which has an elevation of 674 meters. According to records in the Samguk Yusa, it was founded by King Suro of the Garak Kingdom and is a traditional temple that supports the theory of the southern transmission of ancient Korean Buddhism. The temple holds many legends and mysterious phenomena. It was known for performing rainmaking rituals during prolonged droughts and was considered sacred. According to the Sejong Sillok Jiriji, it was a place for Shilla kings' merit-making rituals. The Samguk Yusa records that the temple was first built in 1180, the 10th year of King Myeongjong of Goryeo, and a three-story stone pagoda was erected. The Samguk Yusa Tower volume contains records related to the founding of Man-eo-sa: In the pond called Okji in the Yangsan area, a lone dragon and five evil spirits caused chaos, destroying farmers' crops. King Suro tried to expel them with shamanistic rituals but failed. He then requested Buddha’s sermon, by which the spirits received the five precepts. Subsequently, numerous fish and dragons from the East Sea were inspired by the Buddha’s teachings and gathered in this mountain, turning into stones that emitted mystical bell sounds. To honor this, King Suro founded the temple and named it Man-eo-sa, meaning "Temple of Ten Thousand Fish," reflecting the stones turned from the fish inspired by Buddhism. The stone in front of the temple still rings with a clear sound when struck and is called the Bell Stone (Jongseok). It is designated as a cultural monument of Gyeongsangnam-do.
