Unmunsa Temple

Reviewed By papertowel27 - Duluth, Minnesota

This is my favorite temple complex in Korea. In my experience, Unmunsa is much better taken care of than many other temples, and the natural scenery is fantastic. NOTE FOR HIKERS: There are a few great trails from Unmunsa, particularly those that head toward Mt. Unmun or Mt. Gaji in the Yeongnam Alps. However, the trails are closed until the end of 2016, so realistically that means that they probably won't be passable until spring 2017. I recently made a trip to Unmunsa to try to hike to Mt. Gaji, but I ultimately had to walk back to the village and call a cab to Unmunnyeong (Unmun Pass), which cost 30,000 won.

Wine Tunnel

Reviewed By thelonious22 - Seongnam

The tunnel can be visited for free for the first 200 meters. Along it, you can see some wine bottles stored and taste the wine for 3000 won per glass (cheese and crackers available for 5000 won and you can buy the whole bottle for about 20,000 won). Persimmon flavored wine is what's made here and it's very sweet. You can pay 2000 won to visit another couple hundred meters of the tunnel. When I went there were art works in display. Despite being out in nowhere, there are a lot of tourists here on weekends. It can be a little difficult to get to via public transport. A 2km walk from Namseonghyeon station (very infrequent stops, so check schedule) and a 10km bus (infrequent) or cab ride from Cheongdo station.

Cheongdo Bullfighting Arena

Reviewed By thelonious22 - Seongnam

I was concerned about the cruelty to animals thinking it would be like the Spanish bullfighting. Basically 2 bulls butt heads for a while and the match is over once one of the bulls gets scared and runs away. Matches are capped at 30 minutes (it's a tie if it doesn't end by then...and none of the matches ended in a tie when I went) and you can bet on the winner and/or the time of the match in 5 minute increments. Minimum bet is just 100 won (max 100,000 won) so you can have some fun without betting the house. It's free to enter and there's also a free museum next to it that has some good displays about Cheongdo's history of bullfighting
