Along the river from Gongju toward Daejeon there is Geumgang River to the right. Following this river, there is a red arch-shaped bridge on the right called Bultigyo Bridge.

A branch of Magoksa Temple, which is the 6th local temple of the Jogyejong Order, Yeongpyeongsa Temple has six traditional buildings and three small hermitages. Janggunsan Mountain, where the temple is located, is small but full of energy. According to Feng Shui, the mountain is a perfect location for a temple because it is shaped like a dragon curled along the Geumgang River. Yeongpyeongsa is a tranquil place that captures the purity of the temple’s Buddhist practice, with fresh air and clean water that offer a habitat for fireflies, crawfish, and black snails. On the way in, visitors are greeted by a multitude of wildflowers vying for their attention: the columbines and the prairie crocuses in spring, the white lotuses in summer, and the Siberian chrysanthemums in autumn.

This renowned restaurant in Gongju is always bustling. Upon passing through its old, time-honored main gate, one is greeted by a tastefully minimalist garden leading to the eatery itself. The restaurant boasts a carefully selected main menu, offering just three specialty dishes: charcoal-grilled spicy pork, grilled fish, and braised cutlassfish. Each meal is accompanied by an abundant array of ssam (wrap) vegetables and delicious side dishes, available for unlimited refills at the self-service bar. The charcoal-grilled spicy pork is expertly cooked for immediate enjoyment, without the need for diners to grill it themselves. The smoky aroma of the charcoal complements the subtle seasonings perfectly. The grilled fish offers a delightful contrast with its crispy skin and succulent flesh. An additional perk is the option to order single servings of all menu items.
