Gyeongsan Jain Gyejeong Forest is a rare natural forest in Korea that lies close to flatland. It features communities of Oriental cork oak, retusa fringetree, and Japanese hackberry. Within the forest are the tomb and shrine of General Han, along with the Jain Danoje Preservation Society training hall. General Han is said to have lived around the 9th century, when Japanese pirates built a fortress on Jain's Docheonsan Mountain and harassed residents; he lured them out with his sister by dancing while wearing flower crowns and annihilated them. The dance he performed in women's attire is called Yeowonmu or Hanjanggun Nori. After General Han's death, villagers built a shrine in honor of his deeds, and after holding a memorial rite on Dano Festival, they enjoyed diverse folk games such as Yeowonmu, Dano exorcism rituals, and ssireum wrestling for three to four days. The current Gyeongsan Jain Danoje originated from this. The main hall of Jain Hyeoncheong, a traditional government office from the Joseon Dynasty, is also preserved in Gyeongsan Jain Gyejeong Forest. (Source: Gyeongsan City Culture & Tourism)
