Along the waterfront walkway, colorful tourist wind-powered streetlights are installed in an eco-friendly manner, providing beautiful and vibrant sights for visitors enjoying the autumn atmosphere. From April to October every year, a fountain in the waterfront park operates according to schedule. As part of the resource development project of Bulgap Reservoir, facilities to increase fishery resources (floating-type spawning grounds, underwater spawning grounds, waterfront spawning grounds) and a complex stream facility have been installed to protect native fish. Additionally, the Korea Rural Community Corporation manages water quality and IT safety monitoring to maintain the reservoir's water quality. Nearby, Bulgapsa Temple is located 4 km from Bulgap Reservoir Waterfront Park.

Beopseong was known as a good place to live because it was not only a major fish market (pasi) due to the abundant croaker caught in the Chilseon sea but also had a warehouse that stored grains from 12 different counties, with 715 households in 1895, larger than Yeonggwang-eup. Inside the fortress, there were Confucian schools (hyanggyo), three gate towers, Dongjoru, a military flag repository (gungi-go), Jinchang, Hwansanggo, Jobokgo, Bingheojeong, Bokgochang, and Gungichang. However, after numerous upheavals including the Donghak Peasant Revolution and the Imjin War, most structures burned down, leaving only traces of the fortress surrounding Jinnae-ri village, the roof of the military flag repository at the pier, and two wells. Beopseong was an important naval base and a key point for tax collection and transportation during the Joseon Dynasty, with many historical events preceding this era.

Supjaengi Park is an extension of Beopseongjinseong fortress built during the reign of King Jungjong of the Joseon Dynasty. Zelkova trees and others have grown for over 300 years, forming a dense forest around the fortress. Meaning 'fortress made of forest,' Supjaengi Park is the 7th of the 9 scenic spots in Yeonggwang. It is a resting place where visitors can enjoy the beautiful views of Beopseongpo while walking along trails made through flowers and trees. Facilities including walking paths, stair-step artificial waterfalls with lights, and a large parking lot are well established, making it a popular wellness tourism course for families and couples. The trail from the forest of Beopseongjinseong continues through the flower-filled Supjaengi Flower Hill and connects to the first arrival site of Baekje Buddhism.

Supjaengi is a forest formed by zelkova trees planted as an extension of Beopseongjinseong, built during the reign of King Jungjong of Joseon, which have grown for over 100 years. It serves as the main stage for the annual Beopseongpo Dano Festival, is designated as National Scenic Site No. 22, and was selected as one of Korea's beautiful forests in 2006. Located where Supjaengi Park connects to Baekje Buddhism's first arrival site, Supjaengi Flower Garden offers walking paths between flowers and trees, allowing visitors to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Beopseongpo. It is recommended as a healing travel destination to visit with family. (Source: Yeonggwang-gun Cultural Tourism Homepage)

The spread of Buddhism on the Korean Peninsula during the Three Kingdoms Period is clear in Goguryeo (in the 2nd year of King Sosurim under the Jin general Buyeon) and Silla (during King Nulji Maripgan with the monk Mukhoja), with clear routes of transmission and initial preaching sites, but the transmission route and first arrival site of Baekje Buddhism were unclear. It has been orally passed down that the Indian monk Marananta Jonja came to Beopseongpo in Yeonggwang, preached Buddhism, and founded Beopgapsa Temple, marking the start of Baekje Buddhism. In 1998, academic verification by Yeonggwang-gun (Dongguk University) established that Yeonggwang land is the first arrival site of Baekje Buddhism. Beopseongpo Jawoo-du is the place where Indian monk Marananta first set foot in Baekje in A.D. 384, coming via the Eastern Jin dynasty of China, and it is being developed as a tourist attraction to commemorate this. The 'Beop' (法) in Beopseongpo refers to Buddhism, and 'Seong' (聖) refers to the saint Marananta. * Site area - 45,439㎡ (13,745 pyeong)

Hyanggyo are educational institutions established by the state to honor great Confucian scholars and to provide Confucian education and moral cultivation for local residents. Yeonggwang Hyanggyo, built during the reign of King Gongmin of Goryeo (1351–1374), was repaired in the 15th year of Seonjo (1582). It was destroyed by fire during the Japanese invasions of 1592 but was restored afterward, with the current buildings believed to date from the late Joseon period. The extant buildings include Daeseongjeon, Dongmu, Seomu, Myeongnyundang, Dongjae, and Seojae. The site follows the common hyanggyo layout of jeonmyo-huhak, with the ancestral ritual space centered on Daeseongjeon in front and the learning space centered on Myeongnyundang in the rear. According to tradition, the layout of this hyanggyo was referenced during the reconstruction of Seoul Munmyo, which burned down in the 2nd year of Jeongjong (1400). In the Joseon dynasty, the state provided land, slaves, and books to support students, but after the Gabo Reform of 1894, it ceased educational functions and now holds rituals only in spring and autumn.
