Asanman Embankment was created by blocking the stream that flows into the Asanman Bay in the West Sea. Although it was originally created to expand the farmlands of the region, Asanman Embankment became a tourist site over time thanks to its beautiful scenery. The area has the Yellow Sea to the west and Asanho Lake to the east. The western side of the embankment has a wide tidal flat. Fishing and drives can be enjoyed in the area. Don’t miss the view of the sunset toward the sea. In addition, there is a park, observatory, and exhibition hall in the area.

Gongseri Catholic Church was founded in 1894 as the main parish of the Daejeon diocese in Gongse-ri, Inju-myeon that connects Asanman Bay to Sapgyocheon Stream. Early missionaries originally used a common house for church meetings in the early years until in 1897 when a rectory was built, followed by the establishment of the main church in 1922. This was the first Catholic church in Chungcheongnam-do and the religion spread across Anseong, Onyang, and Dunpo to establish regional churches respectively. The grounds have three graves of prosecuted martyrs, a parish and rectory, retreat house, and meeting room. The premises is surrounded by beautiful views of a lush forest.
