Situated in a dense forest in Sangwangsan Mountain and 6 kilometers away from Haemi-myeon, Gaesimsa Temple is one of the four major temples in Chungcheongnam-do. The path from the parking lot to the temple site is quite remote and curved, but beautiful especially in spring when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

The temple was built in 1484 during the 15th year of King Seongjong and designated as a Treasure. The architecture of the temple stands out, as the buildings use bent tree trunks for pillars.

The city of Yesan is home to two notable markets: Yesan Fifth-day Market, which dates back to the 1920s, and Yesan Market, a permanent traditional market. Yesan has historically been a prolific producer of agricultural and livestock products, and the market served as a central point of regional specialties. In fact, Yesan apples are famous across Korea. On days ending with 0 and 5, a fifth-day market is held, which makes the market far larger and livelier. Yesan Rice Soup Street can also be found here.

Its signature menus are saenggalbi (grilled galbi) and yangnyeom galbi (grilled marinated galbi). Yangnyeom galbi (grilled marinated galbi) takes bone-in galbi, which is marinated in sauce for 3 days and grilled on fine charcoal quickly to seal the juice and enrich the savory flavor. Saenggalbi (grilled galbi) is grilled without any marinade. Other menus include galbitang (galbi soup), seolleongtang (ox bone soup), and naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles). Gulhoe (raw oysters) is only offered during winter.
