Beyond Dosan Seowon, this park boasts spectacular views and tracks wandering along cliff precipices. In addition to the mountain Cheongnyang-san, the summit of which is Changin-bong (870m), there are 11 scenic peaks, eight caves and a waterfall, Gwanchang Pokpo . A spiderweb of tracks radiates out from Cheongnyang-sa and most are well marked.
The largest temple in the park is Cheongnyang-sa and there are a number of small hermitages. Built in AD 663, the temple is quite scenic, sitting in a steep valley below the cliffs. Ansimdang , at the base of the temple, is a pleasant teahouse.
It takes about five hours to complete a round trip of the peaks, returning to the bus stop, or about 90 minutes to the temple and back again.
Across the street from the park entrance, there are a dozen minbak , shops, restaurants and the Cheongnyangsan Museum , a modest effort with artefacts related to the area’s agricultural history, and clean public toilets.
From Andong, bus 67 (₩2200, one hour, six daily) continues past Dosan Seowon to the park.
