Cheongnyongsa Temple Site
Chungcheongbuk-do(Chungju-si)

This is the site where Cheongnyongsa Temple, a major temple in the Goryeo era, once stood. The following legend is associated with the temple. One spring day, a monk took refuge from the rain under a tree. There, he saw two dragons at play with a cintamani (wish-fulfilling jewel), which fell towards the ground. One of the dragons flew towards the cintamani and on its way up, it went up to Cheonggyesan Mountain. The dragon and the cintamani disappeared and the rain stopped. Near the site, there remains the Jeonghyewonyungtap Pagoda where the sarira of National Preceptor Bogak Guksa is enshrined, a stone lantern, and Jeonghyewonyungtap Pagoda. On the bottom of the Jeonghyewonyungtap Pagoda, a lion is dynamically depicted, so it is also called Sajaseokdeung (lion stone lantern). The latter, together with the Ssangsajaseokdeung (twin lion stone lantern) in the Hoeamsaji Temple site in Yangju, Gyeonggi-do Province, are representative lion stone lanterns from the Joseon era.

Pungsuwon Catholic Church
Gangwon-do(Hoengseong-gun)

Pungsuwon was the first catholic village in which over 40 faithful from Yongin (Gyeonggi-do), led by Sin Tae-bo (or St. Peter), settled to escape the wrath of Sinyubakhae (religious persecution of Catholics) of 1801. Over a period of 80 years, the settlers had led their religious lives without a priest until Father Le Merre (a French priest) came to the village in 1888. Succeeding Le Merre in 1896, Father Jeong Gyu-ha (or Augustino), along with Chinese engineers, began to build Pungsuwon Cathedral. Completed in 1907 by the faithful, the cathedral still remains a beautiful building; it is a popular spot for visitors, having frequently appeared in Korean dramas and films. It is the first cathedral built by a Korean priest as well as in Gangwon-do; it is the fourth cathedral built in Korea. Pungsuwon Cathedral was designated as Gangwon-do Local Cultural Property No.69 in 1982.

Uhangri Dinosaur Fossil Natural Historic Monument
Jeollanam-do(Haenam-gun)

During the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era, it is said that there were three major lakes in Gyeongsang Province alone, and to this day, traces of such lakes can be found in the Namhae coastal area. Such traces are particularly distinct in Uhangri, Haenam-gun. The Uhangri area had originally been a part of the sea, but this changed when the Damsuho Lake and surrounding area was formed by the building of the Geumho Tide Embankment. This lake has a sea cliff that is 3-4 meters high, stretches about 5km in length, and is made up of sedimentary rock formed during the Cretaceous age. Embedded in the rock around the lake are footprints of dinosaurs, pterosaurs and water birds that lived in this area tens of millions of years ago. There is no other place in the world where footprint fossils of all these different dinosaurs were found in a single area. The footprint fossil of a pterosaur discovered in this area is the largest in the world at a length of 20-35cm. Also, the footprint fossil of a bird with webbed feet showed that the bird lived in the Cretaceous period, which is at least around 20-30 million years earlier than the Eocene of the Cenozoic era discovered in the US.
