It has Literary Walk around Susitap Tower and Natural Ecology Park around Weolmyeong Lake. There is a mountain with continuing peaks, and the river, the sea, the field, and the village are seen in the park, which is worth calling a precious gift of nature. The forest in the park is full of fine trees, and the peaks reach to Weolmyeong, Sinchang, Munwha, Nawoon, Soryong, and Miryong. The lower of Geumgang River and the Western Sea can be seen from the mountain although it is about 100m high, and even Janghang and Yeondo Island can be seen as long as the weather is fine.

The park is covered with pink azalea, yellow forsythia, snowy cherry blossoms, and red camellia blossoms in April, and pink royal cherry blossoms and royal azaleas burst into bloom in May. The mountain is full of the scent of acacia in June. When you up on the Susitap Tower in the summer night, the cool breeze from the sea and a beautiful subdued scene enacted by the glimmering lights of ships coming and going along the river. Weolmyeong Park embraces the first reservoir made to supply to the area in 1912, which has changed into the lake spraying wet fog in the forest where mountain birds and small animals quench their thirst. The old trees seem to talk about the past in the 1,000 year old Eunjeoksa Temple on the foot of Mt. Seolimsan. Walking along the trails commands a good view of the town, extensive plain, and the sparkling lights on the Mangyeonggang River at a great distance.
