With a theme of roof tiles, a relics gallery in the complex boasts over 774 local items, categorized by historical period (e.g. the Silla Period, Baekje Period, etc.). Munsan-ri Stone Bridge, believed to have been built during the Goryeo Period, was restored in front of the gallery.

Gangseo Myeonok (강서면옥)

043-544-3895

Since its establishment in 1979, Gangseo Myeonok has specialized in crafting authentic memil naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles). The noodles are freshly made in-house, using high-quality buckwheat sourced from Bongpyeong in Gangwon-do, a region renowned for its premium buckwheat. What sets their memil naengmyeon apart is the exquisite broth, a harmonious blend of Korean beef brisket and the crisp, refreshing water of dongchimi (radish water kimchi). This unique combination results in a soup that’s both refreshing and subtly flavored, ensuring the noodles are tender and accessible to a wide array of palates. The restaurant is conveniently located near the Boeun Intercity Bus Terminal and the bustling Boeun Traditional Market.
