Originally, no name was given to this mountain on topographical maps. But in 1973, when the Empor Alpine Club reached the mountain during a hike across the nation, the club members named it after Jin Yu-myeong, a member of the expedition. On old maps, the mountain had been called Mayusan Mountain because of the horses raised in the area, but today it is more widely known as Yumyeongsan Mountain. The trail that starts from Yangpyeong leads to an expansive and open grassland. The hiking trails are also connected to those of Mount Daebusan and Mount Sogunisan. On the summit, there is a pile of stones, and the view from the top is splendid.

Eobigyegok Valley, originating from Eobisan Mountain, is aptly named 'Eobi' ('flying fish') as visitors can often witness fish leaping from the valley's crystal-clear waters. The constructed walkway, meandering alongside fountains and through valleys, provides stunning scenic views. In winter, the valley transforms as a 25-meter natural ice wall forms around the palgakjeong pavilion, offering a breathtaking spectacle. Nearby attractions such as Yumyeongsan Mountain, Chorongi Dungjimaeul Village, and the Edelweiss Swiss Theme Park also offer unique experiences and are definitely worth a visit.

Spicy Braised Chicken, a staple in Korean cuisine, is prepared by stewing chicken pieces with a fiery blend of red pepper powder and various seasonings. It’s a dish that complements rice perfectly. Here, the chicken is simmered in a sizeable metal pot with a flat lid, a method that not only retains heat better but also infuses a distinctive flavor and a touch of the chef’s personal care into every bite. The dish’s flavor is enhanced when paired with seasoned green onions, adding a crisp, spicy kick. Following the main course, the leftover sauce is used to stir-fry rice into the visually appealing and tasty Fried Rice Art, often shaped into a heart, delighting both the palate and the eyes. Nearby, guests can hear the gentle flow of a stream and have access to the valley via stairs, offering a chance to indulge in some light water activities after their meal.

Opened in 2004, Supullo Unsimni is situated on the Namhangang Riverside. The site used to be a sandpit before it was turned into a wetland. Effluent from wastewater treatment plants, which in the past was released directly into the Hangang River, now passes through several ponds with various aquatic plants and a one kilometer-long waterway so that it can be naturally purified. This has contributed to an improvement in the water quality of the Hangang River. The center was built to restore the Namhangang Riverside area, which was destroyed due to sand extraction, and to restore its natural ecology of willow trees, reeds, and birds. The center organizes a number of ecological excursion programs for children.
