The city of Yesan is home to two notable markets: Yesan Fifth-day Market, which dates back to the 1920s, and Yesan Market, a permanent traditional market. Yesan has historically been a prolific producer of agricultural and livestock products, and the market served as a central point of regional specialties. In fact, Yesan apples are famous across Korea. On days ending with 0 and 5, a fifth-day market is held, which makes the market far larger and livelier. Yesan Rice Soup Street can also be found here.

Yangnyeom galbi (grilled marinated galbi) takes bone-in galbi, which is marinated in sauce for 3 days and grilled on fine charcoal quickly to seal the juice and enrich the savory flavor.

Hyangcheonsa Temple is an old temple that was founded by Monk Euigak in the late Baekje period under King Uija’s rule. The temple is easily accessble from downtown despite its location deep within a valley at the foot of Geumosan Mountain, serving as a landmark for visitors enjoying a light stroll or a hike up to the mountain. Serving as a home to several relics and a nine-story stone pagoda, the temple site and buildings are well maintained and neatly cleaned on a daily basis.

According to legends, Monk Euigak originally had planned on building a temple in Sinam-myeon in Yesan. He went to China and brought a Buddha statue, praying earnestly on his way back aboard a boat. Upon his arrival, he sighted a pair of golden crows flying above the boat and followed the birds before they disappeared. He found the birds at the temple’s current location, drinking from a puddle of water that had an aromatic smell. From then on the mountain was called Geumosan, meaning “the mountain of golden crow,” and the temple was named Hyangcheonsa, meaning “the temple of fragrant water.”
