Today, I'm going to tell you about Miryang Youngnamru.
Built on a bluff by the Miryang River, this is a pavilion of the Joseon Period, which goes well with beautiful scenery in the neighborhood.
In Korean, we call this sort of building as 'Nugak (누각.樓閣 )'. Which means, it is sited high up on the hill(or fortress) to see every side. Well, easily, Pavilion. :P
Based on size and beauty of architecture, Youngnamru(영남루) is the best building in the Late of Choseon(Joseon) Dynasty.
Along with Chokseokru(촉석루) by the Nam River(남강) in Jinju and Bubyeokru(부벽루) by the Daedong River in Pyeongyang, it is one of the best three pavilions in Korea.
This is the enterance of Yongnamru.
It looks pretty interesting, huh? :P
After climbed the stairs,
Inside of the Youngnamru
ah! You should take off shoes !
Actually, even for me, it was very impressive.
Usually, we don't need to take off shoes for cultural assets or just can't go.
In that sense,Youngnamru is well kept I think.
Because as you can see, people can take some rest at there like our forebears used to do.
Right across from Youngnamru, there is Cheonjingung(천진궁.天眞宮).
Cheonjingung faces the south, with a portrait and ancestral tablet of Dangun in the center, the ancestral tablets of the founding kings of Buyeo(부여), Goguryeo(고구려), Gaya(가야) and Goryeo(고려) dynasties against the left wall, and the ancestral tablets of the founding kings of Silla(신라), Baekje(백제), Balhae(발해), and Joseon(조선) dynasties against the right wall.
You can play some traditional Korean games.(If you can have a chance.)
When I went there, I couldn't have a chance. Because of some little and incredibly cute enemies.(Who never give up, who never be tired!)
Anyways,
Except Youngnamru, you can also see a fortress.
It just takes 10minutes from Youngnamru.
(You can easily find the way.)
It called Miryangeupseong.
It was built for protecting the offices and private building from enemies.
The exterior wall of the fortress is a natural cliff while Namcheongang, a river that flows along the exterioir wall, acted as a moat.
Come back to the forked road, and go right
Then you can see a temple. Name is Mubongsa(무봉사).

Since Buddha's birthday is coming, you can see Lotus lantern everywhere.
Hope you visit here sometime
and take a good rest at Youngnamru.
★ How to get there

★ More information about Miryang
Eoreumgol(얼음골)
This is one of Miryang's foremost tourist attractions.
It gets its name and its notoriety from the freezing cold found there even in midsummer. This phenomenon is believed to be due to local airflow patterns, particularly cold air emerging from underground.
Ice starts freezing in early March and it lasts until July.
Samyeongdaesa(사명대사, 泗溟大師)
He is one of the most famous men of Miryang.
I'm sure that if you know him, you will have more fun with Miryang.
With the outbreak of Japanese invasions in 1592, Yujeong joined his teacher Seosan's righteous army of monks. After Seosan retired due to his age, Yujeong took over the leadership of the monks' army. He led the army into battles at Pyongyang and Uiryeong in 1592, set up mountain fortresses through Gyeongsang in 1594, and joined in battle again at Ulsan and Suncheon.
In 1604, after the end of the war, he traveled to Japan on King Seonjo's orders to forge a peace accord with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and returned with 3500 Koreans who had been taken prisoner. Yu jeong's diplomatic missions established a resilient foundation for a series of major Joseon missions to Japan.
Pyochungsa(표충사)
Pyochungsa, originally Jukrimsa(죽림사,竹林寺), is a Korean Buddhist temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism.
It stands on the slopes of Jaeyaksan(재약산) near Cheonhwangsan(천황산) in the Yeongnam Alps in Danjang-myeon, northern Miryang, South Korea.
It stands on the slopes of Jaeyaksan(재약산) near Cheonhwangsan(천황산) in the Yeongnam Alps in Danjang-myeon, northern Miryang, South Korea.
They keep 3 ancestral tablets (Samyeong daesa, Seosan daesa and Giju daesa)in temple.
Except the meaning of history, this temple is just really beautiful.
Miryang has so many interesting attractions.
So, I recommend traveling Miryang ! :D
