Jiri on an open palanquin carried by Buddhist monks. During the tour, the flute is a representative instrument to spice up the interest, and composing and reciting poems are one of their pleasures. The monks enjoyed water bobsleigh at Balyeon waterfall in Mt. Geumgang, at the same time the gentry had an enjoyment of looking at the scene.
