Bubuk-myeon, Miryang-si, Wiyangji, which embraces the beautiful four seasons

In Wiyang Village, Bubuk-myeon, Miryang-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, there is Wiyangji, which has been selected as one of the Top 11 popular tourist destinations on SNS by the Korea Tourism Organization and one of the 100 non-face-to-face tourist destinations nationwide. Wiyangji is a reservoir built during the Silla Dynasty, originally named Yangyangji, but it is also called Wiyangji (位良池) because it was built for good people. Originally, it was a water reservoir that supplied water to paddy fields, but its original function was lost when Gasan Reservoir was built nearby.

In the center of Wiyangji, there are five small islands and a small pavilion called ‘Wanjaejeong’, and around them are poplars, briars, and old trees whose age is difficult to determine.

Every spring, many tourists visit to see the snow-like poplars, but the appearance of Wiyangji, which is always in full bloom in May this year and covered with white poppy flowers, was enough to tempt the springtime visitors.

In Wiyangji, various trees such as willows and pines are planted as well as poplar trees to form a dense forest along the trail, and abundant and diverse ecological resources such as tortoiseshell, hoopoe, and mandarin duck are inhabited.

In particular, the reflection of the blue sky in the pond is like a painting, so you can enjoy the beautiful nature and taste even if you visit in all seasons.

Miryang Arirang Market, which has been around since 479, is a traditional market that preserves the culture of small towns and rural areas as well as its long history. In 2017, Arirang Market and Naeil Traditional Market were merged to create Miryang Arirang Market. There are a variety of shops, from agricultural and marine products and household goods stores to restaurants such as pork soup, loach stew, and barley rice, providing a variety of things to see and eat to those who visit the traditional market.

Yeongnamnu Pavilion (Treasure No. 147) originated from a building attached to Yeongnamsa Temple, which was built in Silla Dynasty. 

Since then, the pavilion was become a larger independent building. Yeongnamnu Pavilion is one of the greatest wooden architecture from late Joseon Dynasty, with 5 blocks in the front, 4 blocks on the sides, and the second floor is made in a style called naewoejin. The magnificent style creates proud yet picturesque beauty, which place Yeongnamnu Pavilion as one of the three greatest pavilions in Korea. It is located on th cliff over Miryang River. People look over the town from there or take a rest while they are walking along the river trail. The sights of clear and pristine Miryanggang River combine with the pavilion create a breathtaking beauty. The night scenery of the pavilion, reflected on the waters of the river, make it a supreme tourist attraction.
