Mubongsa, meaning “a sacred place where phoenix used to dance,” is a small Buddhist temple. It is conveniently located near one of the Miryang’s top attractions, Yeongnamnu Pavilion. Perched high on the cliffs above the upper reaches of the river is Aranggak Pavilion. A flight of stairs from this pavilion lead to the famous Yeongnamnu Pavilion and Mubongsa Temple. Enshrining a stone seated Buddha statue designated as Treasure No. 493, the temple has long been a popular site among poets and painters for its picturesque landscape.

Located in Naeil-dong in Miryang, Gyeongsangnam-do Province, Aranggak Pavilion sits in a bamboo forest. It is said to have been built to appease the spirit of a young woman named Arang, who met an unfortunate death.

According to the legend, Arang was mistakenly killed by a low-ranking officer who had loved her and tried to hug her. After her death, she becomes a ghost and appears to every district magistrate (highest-ranking officer in a region) to appeal for the investigation of her unfair death, but each district magistrate dies of a heart attack.

Then, a new district magistrate by the name Lee is dispatched to the area. Unlike his predecessors, Lee listens to the story of the ghost and finds the low-ranked officer who had killed her and punishes him. He found Arang’s body and holded a religious ceremony on her behalf. Aranggak was also built in her memory.

Every year, an event called Arangje is held on April 16 by the lunar calendar in Aranggak Pavilion. Young maidens dressed in white hanbok perform a religious ceremony to soothe the sorrow of Arang. There is also a saying that the spirit of Arang will preserve the love of those couples who visit the pavilion together.

Located within Adongsan Mountain next to the Namcheongang River in Miryang, Yeongnamnu Pavilion (National Treasure No. 147) is one of three great pavilions of Korea together with Choseongnu Pavilion of Jinju and Bubyeongnu Pavilion of Pyeongyang.

A two-story-pavilion with a hip-and-gable roof was constructed at the same site during the Silla period, as part of Yeongnamsa Temple, which was one of the five great temples at the time. The pavilion was torn down and re-constructed during the ruling of King Gongmin in Goryeo dynasty. The current structure was built in 1884 and designed by then-magistrate Yi In-jae.

The pavilion area consists of Neungpagak, Chimnyugak, Sajumum Gate, Iljumun Gate and Cheonjingung. Stone-carved calligraphy from the Joseon period abounds in the pavilion complex, drawing many visitors.
