Hwacheon Ring Bridge & Arle Theme Arboretum Park

Arle Theme Arboretum Park is a place that was renamed from what was called the Georye-ri Love Tree. The arboretum park is quiet and good for healing, and since it is directly connected to the Bukhangang River bicycle path, it is popular among bicycle club members. Also, at the end of the arboretum park's walking trail there is a ring-shaped Ring Bridge, which is good for proposals and couple photos.

Yanggu Arboretum

Yanggu Arboretum is a place where the mysterious natural ecology unfolds near the DMZ armistice line, and rare plants can be observed. In particular, Daeamsan, where the botanical garden is located, is home to Yongneup, the first wetland registered in Korea when the country joined the Ramsar Convention, further enhancing the value of the botanical garden. The botanical garden holds diverse and numerous species of plants on a site of 149,000 m², and is used as an ecological learning center by conserving and propagating rare and endangered plants native to the region.

Inje Narsha Park (formerly Inje Military Theme Park)

The Sudden Attack Alive Arena, which turned the online game Sudden Attack into a real survival game, opened new horizons for adventure sports when the first Inje Sudden Attack Alive competition was held in 2008. Inje Military Theme Park, full of adventure sports facilities and various attractions, has added Scad Diving, Korea's first 50m-high bungee jump tower without a cord, and has been newly renovated as Inje Narsha Park.

Baekdamsa Temple

Baekdamsa Temple is a representative temple in Inner Seorak, located above the Baekdam Valley where the clear waters flowing from the Gayadong Valley and Gugokdam meet, serving as a guide for those climbing Inner Seorak. It was founded by Master Jajang in the first year of Queen Jindeok, the 28th ruler of Silla (647), and was initially called Hangyesa, but later was named Baekdamsa because there were 100 pools from Daecheongbong Peak to the temple. It was destroyed about ten times and rebuilt in 1957 after the Korean War, making it a temple with many historical ups and downs. It houses relics such as Master Jajang's sarira stupa and a small seven-story jade pagoda bestowed to Master Seoljeong during the reign of King Injo, and its hermitages include Yeongsiam, Oseam, and Bongjeongam. In addition, Baekdamsa is famous as the place where Manhae Han Yong-un (1879–1944) shaved his head and practiced. While Manhae spent his time there writing to revive the national spirit through arduous suffering for the nation and its people, former President Chun Doo-hwan and his wife are said to have repented while living in exile here. On one side of the valley in front of Baekdamsa, there are countless stone pagodas, built by people who visited Baekdamsa over many years making wishes.
