Welcome back everyone!! In our previous post of One Day Trip to Asan (I), we’ve experienced the beauty of Ginkgo Avenue~  

Now we’re at the end of Ginkgo Avenue and about to set off to our next destination – Hyeonchungsa Shrine! Well just turn left and go across a bridge, keep walking straight, Hyeonchungsa Shrine is within walking distance.

Along the way heading to the Shrine, you can also enjoy the view of golden fields and the clear sky~

On the way to Hyeonchungsa Shrine

Hyeonchungsa Shrine is built in memory of Korea’s national hero commander Yi Sun-sin (이순신). If it is hard to think of, do you still remember that really tall statue right in the front of Gwanghwamun (광화문) Plaza? Right! That’s exactly a memorial statue of Yi Sun-sin.

Yi Sun-sin (이순신) was the Naval Commander of the Three Provinces till 1896, he is very famous around the world for his Turtle Ship (거북선), and the fights with Japanese navy during Japanese invasions of Korea. The royal court of Korea bestowed title of honor Chungmugong (충무공) upon him, meaning ‘Duke of Loyalty and Warfare’.

This Hyeonchungsa is consisted of a large park, memorial hall, and the shrine itself, all built in memory of Yi Sun-sin for he had lived sometime in Asan.

The trip to both Ginkgo Avenue and Hyeonchungsa Shrine is quite manageable within a single day, you may also have time for a slow dinner in downtown Asan. And if want to stay for an extra day, go to one of the hot springs after a day’s walking will be a great relax as well!!
