Seonggwansa Temple (성관사)
 
Jeollabuk-do(Jangsu-gun)
Seonggwansa Temple is located in the rural village of Geumdeok-ri, Janggye-myeon, Jangsu-gun in Jeollabuk-do province, yet the size of this temple is quite big with around ten buildings. It is said that the temple was established during the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392), but the history of the temple is not very clear as there are no remains or written documents of the temple from the Goryeo period that remain today. The name of the temple was changed to Geumdeoksa in 1943, but it recovered its original name of Seonggwangsa in 1994. Seonggwansa means that its disciplines are to practice Buddhist teachings and spread the teachings of Buddha. The present temple site includes Daeungjeon (main hall), Seolbeopjeon (preaching hall), Samseonggak Pavilion, Junghwadang, Daegakseonwon, Iljumun Gate, Jonggak Belfry, and a nine-story pagoda.

Wonju Hanji Theme Park (원주한지테마파크)
 
Gangwon-do(Wonju-si)
Located in Musil-dong, Wonju in Gangwon-do, Wonju Hanji Theme Park offers hands-on activities, educational materials and exhibitions related to hanji, traditional Korean paper, and its history. The 1st floor is dedicated to the history of hanji, including how it was invented and distributed along with presentation of remaining artifacts of hanji. Visitors will not only be able to learn the history of hanji, but will also get a glimpse of how the life was like in the past. On one side of Hanji History Exhibition Hall is an exhibition of various hanji artworks, such as Jiseung Fan by Na Seo-hwan, Manchu by Sobin, and Jumchi Armor by Hanji Development Institute. The Jumchi Armor is made using the jumchi technique, where hanji are layered on top of each other using water for adhesiveness, resulting in rocky and thick surface unlike regular hanji. Hanji that has gone through jumchi technique is light but has a strong enough surface to be arrow-proof and therefore it was often used as a material to make armory or winter outfits. The next exhibition hall, Hanji Media Hall, presents media works such as hanji related movies, documentaries, etc., as well as stories of hanji and the history of Wonju Hanji Theme Park. The 2nd floor is a special exhibition room prepared for hanji or paper related exhibitions. After the tour of the two exhibition halls, visitors can participate in hands-on activities. The two main activities offered by Wonju Hanji Theme Park are Hanji Making Experience and Hanji Craft Activity.

Other attractions include the Underwater Ecology Hall, Mongol Experience Hall, exotic suiseki, and garden stones. Fossils come from various countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, China, and Brazil. Two items, in particular, captivate visitors: a 600-ton columnar joint and a 55m-high tree fossil. In addition, outdoor exhibitions offer rare opportunities for visitors to touch fossils.
