 Located in the southern part of Wok-ak Mountain National Park Hwang-Jang Mountain, it is also called Yak-sa-jeong Village.

As for the origin of the village name, there is a folklore that it became Yak-sa-jeong because there was Yak-sa stone Buddha at the temple site where a temple on the hill behind the village called Yak-san Temple was turned into ruins. Together with the myth, it is a village with history of the name of Donro-Myun. Yak-san Temple site and Yak-sa stone Buddha are still in the village.

 Saeng-dal-Ri stone Buddha

It is a 70cm high sedentary Buddha statue without the head, located in the middle of a field. Lotus patterns on lower ground stone and upper ground stone are delicate yet heavily worn down. Lower ground stone is in a square form and ground-facing lotuses are carved on it. On top of it is an octagonal stand for middle ground stone but the middle ground stone is gone. On top of that is an octagonal sky-facing lotus and a portion of upper ground stone is placed in a damaged state. A Buddha statue in lotus posture is enshrined on top. The drapery is not clear due to effacement, and there is a hole in the rear side where a halo was attached.

The mudra is in unity mudra, and the name seems to be Vairocana Buddha. Around it are trimmed foundation stones where a royal palace had once been.
