I watched an introduction video of Cheongdo Yongcheonsa(temple) on YouTube.

The video showed that cars could enter right up to the temple,

so I decided to go and see for myself.

It was December 9th, but the weather was really so warm.

The wind was a little strong, contrary to the weather forecast.

The temperature ranged from 13 degrees Celsius in the morning

to 19 degrees Celsius in the afternoon.

The distance from Masan Station to Cheongdo Yongcheonsa is 86km.

The route to Yongcheonsa Temple, rather than the destination itself,

is enjoyable for those who like riding due to the many curves.

A. Going Route

01) Departed at 10:00 AM

02) Arrived at the parking lot next to Changnyeong Museum

      and Tumuli at 10:40 AM, covering 40km

03) Arrived at Yongcheonsa at 11:50 AM

B. Return Route

01) Departed from Yongcheonsa at 12:00 PM

02) Arrived at Hultijae(hill) at 12:07 PM to go to Cheongdo

03) Arrived at Dawaseo(다와서) Kalguksu(칼국수)(a restaurant),

     15km past Hultijae(헐티재), at 12:30 PM

04) Had lunch at Cheongdo Dawaseo Kalguksu and departed at 1:05 PM

05) Rested at Paljoryeong(팔조령) Pass Rest Area in Cheongdo at 1:30 PM

06) Arrived at home at 3:30 PM

C. Places Rested

01) Changnyeong Tumuli

      Tumuli with convenient parking, a good place for a short break.

    Unlike the YouTube video,

    it's a small roadside temple, currently under construction to expand.

04) Dawaseo Kalguksu

    A restaurant serving duck soup, fried duck, and noodles.

05) Paljoryeong Pass

     This pass marks the boundary between Daegu Dalseong-gun Gachang-myeon

     to the north and Cheongdo-gun Iseo-myeon to the south.

     There are various legends about its name,

     one being that eight people had to gather to cross the pass

     because it was infested with thieves.
