The "nature learning park" is mostly just some grass where you can have a picnic, along with a little visitor's center (and some giant robot statues), but it is minutes from some other decent attractions. These include the Wangsong lake rail bike, the bird ecology museum and the railway museum.

This Buddhist temple is off the beaten path. But we'll worth the effort to get to. I'm told that it is over 800 years old. It is in the Mountains near Uiwang. Though small it's very picturesque. I met a pair of monks who were very cordial. My wife translated our meeting. She told me that I was one of a few westerners who had visited this site . So join me and become a relatively exclusive club and visit this shrine. The ride up the to see it is special especially in the spring with the cherry blossoms open .

This temple was not big but calm and beautiful, and located on the hillside. So I parked my car, and walked about 15 minutes. The temple had just one main building, and many middle aged woman was there for praying. This temple was for prayer, I think. Just 15 minutes, I took a look around. There was just temple rather than attraction.

The Railroad Museum is located a few blocks SE of the Uiwang metro station, within walking distance (or you could hop a bus to the Korea National Railroad College University). There are several passenger cars (including those used by the Korean presidents, and the commander of Korea's UN forces and 8th US Army commander. President Lyndon Johnson also used this coach during his visit. There are also a few steam and diesel engines available outside, plus maintenance cars. Inside the museum there are many displays showing the history of the railroads, including communications history, plus several displays on how tracks are laid and tied down. Not as many display engines as the Strasbourg railroad museum in PA, USA, but still wort a stop if you're in the area.
Fee was 2,000 won (about $2 USD) for adults, 1,000 won for children, free if over 65.
