Gosan, spanning Daesan-myeon and Seongsong-myeon, is a mountain with an elevation of 527m. Although not very high, Gosan rises from the surrounding plains and is comparable to other mountains over 1,000m in height. From the summit, visitors can view the surrounding scenery at a glance, and the dense pine forest and various uniquely shaped rocks delight hikers. Legends are passed down about sites such as Yongchugul, Gakshibong, Gitdaebong, Maebawi, Yongduam, Geobukbawi, Chotdaebong, and Chimabawi on Gosan, and the natural ecology is well preserved with blackberry and raspberry fields and wetlands. Gosan hosts several hundred prehistoric dolmens and the Gosan Fortress built during the Later Three Kingdoms period. The fortress is approximately 5,000m long and 5m high, varying with the terrain, constructed using a natural earth and stone mixed method. It is a po-gok (enclosure) style fortress, built with a technique where the outer wall uses stone masonry while the interior is compacted with soil and rubble. The outer surface of the walls is stacked with natural stones vertically or interlocked, with each upper stone set 5–6cm inward compared to the lower one. The south and north gates remain, but the east and west gates are no longer found. Historical records note the fortress perimeter as 8,100 cheok and 3,000 nae-yu; within the fortress were Yongji, Seobongsa, and Sugoham. Currently, about 600m of the fortress remains, mostly in a deteriorated state.

Seonunsa Temple is the head temple of the 24th district of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, located on Dosolsan (兜率山) in Asan-myeon, Gochang-gun, Jeonbukteukbyeoljachi-do. Dosolsan is also called Seonunsan (禪雲山), and during the late Joseon period when Seonunsa flourished, 89 hermitages and 189 monk lodgings (료사, 寮舍) were scattered throughout the mountain, creating a magnificent Buddhist land. Along with Geumsansa Temple in Gimje, it is one of the two major head temples in Jeollabuk-do, with a long history, outstanding natural scenery, and valuable Buddhist cultural assets, attracting continuous worship and tourism all year round. The founding of Seonunsa has two legends: one that it was founded by King Jinheung of Silla and another that the great monk Geomdan (檢旦, 黔丹) founded it in the 24th year of King Wideok of Baekje (577). It is said that King Jinheung of Silla (540–576) relinquished the throne in his later years and stayed one night in a cave on Dosolsan, where he dreamt that the Maitreya triad statues split through a rock, inspiring him greatly to establish Joong-aesa Temple, the origin of this temple. However, since this area was Baekje territory fiercely contested with Silla at that time, it is unlikely that the Silla king founded this temple here. Therefore, considering the historical and geographical context, the founding by Monk Geomdan is accepted as the established theory. Various legends related to Monk Geomdan's founding are told: originally, the site of Seonunsa was a large pond inhabited by a dragon, and when Geomdan drove the dragon away and started filling the pond with stones, an epidemic of eye disease severely affected the village. However, when villagers poured a kiln of charcoal into the pond, the eye disease seemed to be cured, leading villagers to bring charcoal and stones, quickly filling the pond and later building Seonunsa on the site. Monk Geomdan named the temple 'Seonun (禪雲),' meaning 'dwelling in the cloud (雲), the mysterious boundary of wisdom, refining and attaining the state of meditation (禪).' Currently, Seonunsa houses a total of 25 cultural properties including 8 treasures, 3 natural monuments, 11 tangible cultural properties of Jeonbukteukbyeoljachi-do, and 3 cultural heritage materials of Jeonbukteukbyeoljachi-do. Especially, behind the Main Buddha Hall (Daeungjeon), a natural monument-designated colony of camellia trees about 500 years old and approximately 6 meters tall on average forms a spectacular flower screen in full bloom in spring. To commemorate Seonunsan's camellia forest, the Camellia Art Festival is held annually in mid-April.
