This temple was founded in 1902. Yonghwasa Temple can be found about 2 kilometers down the small road from a National Road connecting Judeok-eup, Cheongju, with Eumseong. Unlike other Buddhist temples, which tend to be located in secluded places, Yonghwasa Temple is easily reachable from the city, attracting many visitors. Set against a backdrop of green lawns and forests, the temple's stupas, stelae, three-story stone pagodas, and guardian trees bring Buddhist culture to life. A Goryeo-era Standing Stone Buddha, a cultural heritage, can be found in the complex. Its elegant and full body, round face, and delicate expression of folds in the Buddha’s clothing all showcase the unique qualities of Goryeo-era Buddhist sculptures. The Buddha holds a medicine bowl in the left hand, which heals all diseases and eliminates all distractions in pursuit of truth.

Culture Factory was a tobacco manufacturing factory in Cheongju from 1946 to 2004. A culture-centered urban regeneration project in 2021 turned it into a cultural complex equipped with commercial facilities, cultural experience facilities and crafts cluster. Because it was remodeled from an existing structure, columns, walls, overall frame and chimney, the original tobacco manufacturing facility frame can still be seen. As a notable venue in Cheongju, a city of handicraft, the Culture Factory hosts numerous exhibitions related to crafts. The first floor features restaurants and shopping mall, and the third and fourth floors make up the Korean Craft Museum where you can check out free handicraft exhibitions. Cheongju Open Library and a Kids Cafe located on the fifth floor are popular attractions for families. The performing hall frequently stages a variety of plays and concerts to provide Cheongju citizens with more opportunities to enjoy and appreciate culture.

If you want to enjoy a premium Korean table d’hote experience in Cheongju, Ihak Hanjeongsik is the place to go. One has a choice of floor and table seating here, so visitors can pick the seating that is comfortable to them. Because of its interior design, the restaurant has separate dining rooms, so one can enjoy a meal in peace. The dishes are served in a course, from porridge to seasonal kimchi and salad, seafood, meat, soup, braised dishes (meat or vegetables marinated and braised), and finishing with pot rice. That is the familiar course menu structure found in Korean table d’hote, with kimchi and vegetables served before main dishes made with meat arrive on the table. All dishes tend toward elegance, yet the restaurant does not skimp on the amount of food served, so one can get a filling meal. It is a popular place for locals, especially for family events, so reservations are mandatory.
