Mangwolsa Temple on Cheongryang Mountain.

The steep gate of Mangwolsa Temple on Cheongryang Mountain warns to be careful. The closed gate's Four Heavenly Kings statues watch over three young princes. The slopes of Cheongryang Mountain are filled with spring rain and budding trees, creating a mystical atmosphere. The absurd millstone of the monk soldiers, soaked in rain, waits for us. It is said that this millstone was used by the monk soldiers at Mangwolsa, which served as the command post during the Byeongjahoran (Manchu invasion of Korea). Could it be that since then, the tofu of Namhansanseong has been famous? We discover the large furnace base used by the monk soldiers to make gunpowder. It's a moment that lets one appreciate the charm of traveling. Although the cultural heritage was destroyed by the Japanese occupation and tomb raiders, fortunately, it remains. My interest was piqued after reading Kim Hoon's 'The Fortress of Namhansanseong'. It seems like I can hear the sound of the Hongyi Cannon being fired from Mangwol Peak towards the fortress march. The wailing that hastened King Injo's surrender is also audible.
