Located at the gateway to Taebaeksan National Park, Taebaek Experience Park utilizes the former Hamtetan Coal Mine's actual coal mine office building and was created as an experiential facility highlighting the regional characteristic of a closed mine area. It consists of a field learning center, coal miner's housing village, and experiential mine tunnel, offering a space where visitors can experience the daily life of coal miners. The field learning center exhibits realistic models and vivid audio of miners' actual working conditions, and visitors can also try on miner's work clothes and helmets. Through the coal miner's housing village, one can learn about the appearance of housing by era. In summer, various cultural performances are held inside the cool mine tunnel, making it a healing space for tourists and citizens.

As the source of the Nakdong River, it is located in the city center, where the water springing from this pond flows majestically through the vast Yeongnam Plain. The pond is divided into Sangji, Jungji, and Haji, with a circumference of 100m, and about 5,000 tons of water emerge daily, which has also been used as a source for tap water. According to legend, the land where the Hwang family once lived turned into the pond after they gave manure to an old monk requesting alms instead of money, causing the earth to shake. This place is also one of Korea's top 100 famous waters.

Taebaek Sangjang-dong Mural Village is a resident-led mural village that began in 2011 as part of Taebaek City's New Village Movement. In the face of decline due to the fading coal industry, local residents voluntarily participated in creating murals and improving the environment, transforming the area into a new village. The murals realistically depict the hard lives of miners, the sorrows of their families, and the daily life and legends of the mining village. Flowers and murals blend among small fences, houses, and narrow alleys, creating a unique atmosphere. Completed by residents and volunteers, this village won the grand prize at the 2012 Korea Land Grand Festival.
