115 Micheongol-gil, Seo-myeon, Yangyang (Micheongol Recreation Forest)

Walk up the Micheongol valley and the forest opens onto a meadow with a stone pagoda and lantern. A Unified Silla temple stood here before a landslide buried it; the pagoda, lantern, a stele base and a memorial stupa remain. With no roof, only stone, it is oddly peaceful. Half the point is the walk up beside the stream.
