Miryang

Miryang lies in the river country of southeastern Korea. Its Yŏngnamnu pavilion, rebuilt in 1365 and named after an older temple, became a place where visitors could look out over the landscape and compose poetry. The monk Yujŏng, known as Samyŏngdang, was born in the district in 1544. During the Japanese invasion he raised monks to fight and later travelled to Japan as an envoy.
