1. Unmunsa Temple
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
Reviewed By papertowel27 - Duluth, Minnesota
This is my favorite temple complex in Korea. In my experience, Unmunsa is much better taken care of than many other temples, and the natural scenery is fantastic. NOTE FOR HIKERS: There are a few great trails from Unmunsa, particularly those that head toward Mt. Unmun or Mt. Gaji in the Yeongnam Alps. However, the trails are closed until the end of 2016, so realistically that means that they probably won't be passable until spring 2017. I recently made a trip to Unmunsa to try to hike to Mt. Gaji, but I ultimately had to walk back to the village and call a cab to Unmunnyeong (Unmun Pass), which cost 30,000 won.
2. Wine Tunnel

The tunnel can be visited for free for the first 200 meters. Along it, you can see some wine bottles stored and taste the wine for 3000 won per glass (cheese and crackers available for 5000 won and you can buy the whole bottle for about 20,000 won). Persimmon flavored wine is what's made here and it's very sweet. You can pay 2000 won to visit another couple hundred meters of the tunnel. When I went there were art works in display. Despite being out in nowhere, there are a lot of tourists here on weekends. It can be a little difficult to get to via public transport. A 2km walk from Namseonghyeon station (very infrequent stops, so check schedule) and a 10km bus (infrequent) or cab ride from Cheongdo station.
3. Cheongdo Bullfighting Arena
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 7 reviews
Reviewed By thelonious22 - Seongnam
I was concerned about the cruelty to animals thinking it would be like the Spanish bullfighting. Basically 2 bulls butt heads for a while and the match is over once one of the bulls gets scared and runs away. Matches are capped at 30 minutes (it's a tie if it doesn't end by then...and none of the matches ended in a tie when I went) and you can bet on the winner and/or the time of the match in 5 minute increments. Minimum bet is just 100 won (max 100,000 won) so you can have some fun without betting the house. It's free to enter and there's also a free museum next to it that has some good displays about Cheongdo's history of bullfighting

자연휴양림마다 숙소를 선착순으로 특정날짜에 예약할수 있는데요.
그런데 예약하기가 너무 힘들어요. 뭔가 좋은 해결책이 있으면 좋겠습니다.
휴양림에서 풍욕,일광욕,피톤치드욕 하기 정말 좋아요. 숙소 예약이 조금더 쉬웠으면 합니다.

청도읍성입니다. 방어목적으로 지어진 읍성 일부가 남아있습니다.
작은 2차선 도로가 있는데 그 길 양옆으로 있어요. 꼭 양쪽 모두 돌아보세요.
읍성이 작은 규모로 남아있는데 잔디밭처럼 연못도 하나 있고 경치가 매우 좋습니다.
새단장을 하는지.2016년 8월 방문시에 여기저기 보수공사를 하고있었습니다.
관리가 잘되고 있었어요. 청도의 필수 방문지.읍성위를 한번 걸어보는것도 좋아요.
