The hot-spring resort area of Onyang, 45 mi/70 km south of Seoul, merits at least a one-day visit to see the Hyeonchungsa Shrine, the 600-year-old Onyang Hot Springs, the Sudeoksa Temple (which houses a stone Buddha figure) and the Onyang Folk Museum. Many hotels there have their own hot-spring spas.
A 47-ft-/14-m-high sitting Buddha is found near Cheonan, east of Onyang.
