Birosa Temple
Gyeongsangbuk-do(Yeongju-si)

Birosa is a temple located at the southern foot of Birobong, the highest peak of Sobaeksan Mountain. It was founded by revered Buddhist monk Uisang Daesa in the 20th year of King Munmu’s reign (680 A.D.) during the Silla Kingdom. The temple’s Buddha statue and the flagpole supports reveal the long history of this ancient temple. To the left of the entrance to Birosa Temple stand a pair of flagpole supports that are official called Yeongju Samgadong Dangganjiju. The 4.8 meter-high flagpole supports facing each other have a meticulous structure. Inside the temple precincts is Jingongdaesa Bobeoptapbi, a stele with a stone turtle base erected in honor of the great monk Jingong Daesa. The temple enshrines the Amitabha and Vairocana Buddha statues, which were created during the Silla Kingdom in the late 9th century. Both of these Buddha statues realistically depict the human form, and show similar characteristics, which reveal that they were crafted by the same artisan. Preserving such valuable cultural heritages, Birosa Temple also has a serene view of Birobong Peak on Sobaeksan Mountain. * Major cultural properties: Yeongpung Birosa Amitabha and Vairocana Buddha Statues (Treasure No. 997), Yeongju Samgadong Dangganjiju (Provincial Tangible Cultural Property No. 7)

Incheon Medical Support Center(Incheon Port International Passenger Terminal)
Incheon(Jung-gu) , Songdo International Business District

Incheon Medical Support Center (Incheon Port New International Passenger Terminal) 1. Overview: Incheon’s Advanced Medical Tourism Operation System Incheon has established a top-tier medical tourism operation system to streamline medical tourism processes and ensure the systematic management of related procedures. By introducing two key platforms—FPIS (Foreign Patient Information System) and MTMS (Medical Tourism Marketing System)—Incheon actively promotes local medical institutions and specialized medical tourism products to prospective international patients. Through this comprehensive approach, the Incheon Medical Support Center stands as a central resource, providing efficient, reliable support for visitors seeking both travel and healthcare services. 2. Services & Benefits * Free or Simple Health Checks At the New International Passenger Terminal, visitors can often find basic health screening tools (e.g., blood pressure monitors, BMI devices) to quickly assess their current health. This immediate feedback can be especially useful after a ferry trip or for those feeling travel fatigue. * Medical Referrals & Coordination Staff can recommend reputable local hospitals, clinics, or specialized treatment centers in Incheon. Whether you need ongoing therapy, a routine check-up, or advanced procedures, the center helps simplify the appointment process. With FPIS, they maintain organized patient information and can connect travelers to appropriate medical institutions more swiftly and accurately. * One-Stop Medical Service Incheon’s “one-stop medical service” approach covers every stage of a foreign patient’s journey: from initial pre-arrival information-gathering to post-treatment follow-up after returning home. This integrated service allows medical tourists to conveniently access essential healthcare resources, confirm travel arrangements, and receive aftercare guidance, all within one cohesive system. * Marketing & Tourist Support Leveraging the MTMS (Medical Tourism Marketing System), the center promotes Incheon’s diverse medical tourism offerings to international patients, highlighting specialized treatments, wellness programs, and unique local attractions. Beyond healthcare, the center can provide travel tips, lodging recommendations, or tour ideas—helping travelers merge medical care with a rewarding tourist experience. 3. Location & Accessibility * Incheon Port New International Passenger Terminal The center is typically located in a visible area near the main passenger arrivals. If unsure, ask at an information counter for directions to the “Incheon Medical Support Center.” * Hours of Operation Timetables may vary depending on passenger ferry schedules or special circumstances. For current details, check official websites or social media channels. 4. Additional Tips for Travelers * Insurance & Documentation Have your travel insurance policy and relevant documents ready. This will expedite cost and coverage inquiries, especially when scheduling treatments or dealing with potential medical expenses. * Emergency vs. Non-Emergency For life-threatening conditions, call 119 (Korea’s emergency line) or proceed directly to an emergency facility. The Medical Support Center handles initial advice, simpler consultations, and referrals but is not an emergency department. * Language Support Staff may speak English, Chinese, or Japanese. For deeper discussions of complex medical issues, a translation app or professional interpreter might be helpful—particularly if you have detailed healthcare concerns. * Explore Incheon If your medical schedule allows, consider touring Incheon’s port areas, historical sites, or dining hubs. The center can give tips on combining medical treatments with local sightseeing or wellness programs. 5. Why Use the Incheon Medical Support Center at the Port * Comprehensive Medical Tourism System Incheon’s advanced FPIS and MTMS platforms ensure a seamless experience, from discovering local medical providers to finalizing a treatment plan. * Convenient Health Checks & Guidance Free basic health screenings, quick consultations, and referral assistance let travelers address health concerns promptly. * Integrated One-Stop Service Take advantage of the one-stop medical approach, where everything from pre-arrival planning to post-departure follow-up is managed in a unified system, ensuring minimal hassle. * Enhance Your Travel Experience Combine medical treatments, wellness programs, and Incheon’s tourist offerings for a unique, well-rounded trip—supported by professional staff who cater to your healthcare and travel needs.

Cheonsuman Bay - Bird Sanctuary
Chungcheongnam-do(Seosan-si)

Cheonsuman Bay emerged as a habitat for migratory birds as a result of a reclamation project that was undertaken in 1984. A breakwater was built around this area, which created Ganwolho Lake and Bunamho Lake. Moreover, a vast agricultural land spanning 6,400 hectares was formed on what used to be a mud flat. The monthly average temperature of Cheonsuman Bay area between October and March is about 1.2 degree Celsius higher than inland areas with same latitude because of its oceanic climate. Such geographical conditions have made Cheonsuman Bay an ideal wintering site for migratory birds. Cheonsuman Bay is located midway along the migration route of birds migrating from northern Siberia or Manchuria to Southeast Asia. As a result, Cheonsuman Bay has become home to nearly 200 different species of migratory birds that can be watched all year round. In the winter, the area becomes a wintering site for over 300 thousand ducks and wild geese, as well as a wide variety of endangered species like storks, spoonbills, mute swans, and white-naped cranes. Lucky birdwatchers might be able to witness the great spectacle created by tens of thousands of migratory birds flying in a flock over the Cheonsuman Bay area. The annual Cheonsuman International Bird Watching Fair is held between mid-October and late-November.
