About
Cheonggyesa Valley lies beside Cheonggyesa Temple, a branch temple of Jikjisa in Hwaseo-myeon, Sangju. In 1907, independence activist No Byeong-dae is said to have led righteous army fighters against Japanese troops here, and he was later arrested and died in prison after a hunger strike. The clear valley and scenic mountains draw many visitors in summer. Behind the temple, Daegeolteo Mountain, which Gyeonhwon is said to have considered a royal palace site, has the remains of an old mountain fortress known as Gyeonhwon Fortress.
