Jeondeungsa Temple is located in Samnangseong Fortress, which is said to have been built by the three sons of Dangun, the founder of Korea. The temple was originally called Jinjongsa Temple during the early Goryeo dynasty; the name changed to the current Jeondeungsa Temple in 1282. Jeondeungsa Temple contains significant architectural works, including the main building Daeungbojeon Hall (a Treasure), built in 1621. Decorated with delicate carvings, it is a superlative example of the architecture of the mid-Joseon dynasty. Visitors can see names of soldiers written on the walls and columns of Daeungbojeon Hall. These soldiers fought against the French Navy and wrote their names in Jeondeungsa to pray to Buddha for good luck in war.

Makgeolli is a traditional Korean alcoholic beverage made from grains such as sweet rice, regular rice, barley and wheat, and malt. As Makgeolli is made by fermenting grains, the lees(Suljigemi) settle on the bottom. If you siphon off the clear liquor, it is called Cheongju. Makgeolli is an undistilled spirit before separating out the Cheongju, which is the origin of its name, meaning 'not distilled'. Aside from the alcohol, the bulk of Makgeolli is pure nutrition. Other than the 80 percent water and six to seven percent alcohol, Makgeolli consists of two percent protein, 0.8 percent carbohydrates, 0.1 percent fat and ten percent dietary fiber, along with vitamins B and C, lactobacilli and yeast. It fully deserves its nickname: 'a treasure trove of nutrients'. One milliliter of undiluted Makgeolli contains tens of millions of lactobacilli.
