Haemi Martyrdom Holy Ground (Yeosutgol) (해미순교성지(여숫골))
Chungcheongnam-do(Seosan-si)

Haemi Martyrdom Holy Ground is the site where nearly 1,000 Catholics in Chungcheongnam-do were buried alive during the time between the Byeongin Persecution in 1866 (3rd year of King Gojong) and 1882 (19th year of King Gojong). At that time, Catholics were executed outside Haemieupseong Fortress' Seomun Gate (West Gate). As it was difficult to execute them one by one, the martyrs were buried alive in a big hole all at once. When confronted with their death, the martyrs prayed while singing 'Yesumaria' (Jesus Maria). Because is also sounds like "Yeosumeori" (여수머리), the place was called 'Yeosutgol' as well.The 16-meter-high memorial tower was set set up near Haemicheon Stream to pay tribute to the nameless martyrs wo were buried alive. Many Catholics visit this location every year to remember and honor the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their belief.

Alpaca World: A Forest Adventure in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province Alpaca World is nestled in the lush, green forests of Hongcheon, in Gangwon Province. This unique destination offers visitors an up-close experience with animals living in natural settings, with alpacas taking center stage. The park features an “Andes Eco Ranch,” which recreates the mountainous terrain of South America’s Andes and is home to about 50 adorable alpacas. A highlight of Alpaca World is the “Relaxing Stroll with Alpacas” program, where you can walk through the verdant forest alongside these gentle creatures. There’s also the Alpaca Playground, a spacious lawn area where visitors can feed and interact with alpacas in a fun, open setting. Another must-visit spot is the Birds’ Garden, which feels like stepping into a fairy tale the moment you walk through its doors. Beyond alpacas, the park is home to a variety of other animals—deer, rabbits, goats, ostriches, camels, owls, and eagles—making it an ideal place for animal lovers of all ages. With so many engaging activities and friendly creatures, you’re sure to leave Alpaca World with plenty of wonderful memories (and photos!). Alpaca World also holds a special place for K-pop fans: it was featured on NCT LIFE in Chuncheon & Hongcheon, where the members visited to relax, competed in fun missions for cart ride tickets, and shared a hilarious moment with a spitting alpaca. Despite the unexpected surprise, they enjoyed their time capturing group photos, making Alpaca World a must-visit spot for anyone looking to follow in NCT’s footsteps—or simply seeking a unique adventure in Gangwon Province.   ​AlpacaWorld Ticket – Korea’s Popular Multi-Animal Park & Performance ◀◁◀◁

Dopiansa Temple (Cheorwon) (도피안사(철원))
Gangwon-do(Cheorwon-gun)

Dopiansa Temple was built by the Buddhist Monk Doseon in 865, the 5th year of the reign of King Gyeongmun of the Unified Silla Period. Legend has it that Monk Doseon founded this temple because a 91 centimeter-tall seated iron Vairocana Buddha statue had disappeared while being carried to Anyangsa Temple in Cheorwon and was mysteriously found seated at the current site. The temple was named Dopiansa to indicate that the iron-made Buddha statue had reached “pian,” meaning an eternal place to rest. In addition to the legendary iron Variocana Buddha statue (National Treasure No. 63) made by Monk Doseon, the temple houses a 4.1 meter-tall three-story granite pagoda (Treasure No. 223).
