Maensapji is located in Hakseong-ri, Boryeong-si. Visitors can see dinosaur footprint fossils believed to be from the Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era, about 100 million years ago, and the number of visitors for natural history research and field trips is increasing day by day. The dinosaur footprint fossils were first discovered in April 2015, and there are about 10 circular dinosaur footprints around 30 cm in size, which serve as useful evidence that the entire South Korean region was a habitat for dinosaurs during the Cretaceous Period, and are also evaluated as having high academic value for understanding the natural history of the Chungcheong region. This place is directly adjacent to Yeomseong Beach, making it a place where tourists seeking a quiet summer resort can make even more special memories.
