Hyosajeong Pavilion
Seoul(Dongjak-gu)

Hyosajeong Pavilion is where Nohan, the second Vice Premier of the Joseon Dynasty during King Sejong and King Sejo’s reign, stayed. After he lost his mother, he built the pavilion to mourn at her grave while still being able to see his father’s grave in Gaeseong to the North. His brother-in-law, then Minister of the Interior, Gang Sa-deok named the pavilion “Hyosajeong,” which means pavilion of filial piety. In order to find the original location of the pavilion, poems by Jeong Inji and Seo Geojeong and an old map of Korea “Sin-jeung-dong-gunk-nyeo-ji-seung-nam” were referenced, but the pavillion was not found because the surrounding landscapes had changed much. As a result, a location was selected and the pavilion was reconstructed at its current location. The house is 3 kan* in the front and 2 kan* on the side. The roof is a hip-and-gable roof. The pavilion has one room with under floor heating and a railing around the pavilion (*Kan: a traditional measurement that corresponds to the space between two columns)

Yeongamho Lake
Jeollanam-do(Yeongam-gun)

This is a huge lake created when the Geumho tide embankment was constructed in Yeongam on November 1996, as part of a national project to reclaim some 4.3km stretch of sea from Sampo-ri in Samho-myeon of Yeongam-gun to Byeoram-ri in Hwawon-myeon of Haenam-gun. Some 100 species of migratory birds, numbering some 300,000, live in this area over the winter on the mud flats which are full of things to eat. Around the embankment where the sea water and fresh water meet, there is a great spot to fish for both fresh water and the sea species. This is perhaps the only place in Korea where the long and silvery cutlass fish, usually found in the deeper areas of the ocean, can be caught while sitting on the rocks along the seashore.

Daesosan Signaling Station
Gyeongsangbuk-do(Yeongdeok-gun)

Daesosan Signaling Station, created in beginning of the Joseon Dynasty, was the communication tool that sent messages and news via smoke signals and torchlight. The signaling station, often viewable from afar atop the mountain, sent smoke signals during the day and fire signals by night. The Daesosan Signaling Station was one of numerous provincial signaling stations that informed Namsan Signaling Station in Seoul of the status in the Yeongdeok, Chuksanpo region. From Daesosan Signaling Station either fire or smoke signals pass onto Byeolban Station to the south, Pyeonghae Hurisan Station to the north and Gwangsan Station to the west, and then arrives at Namgaksan Signaling Station. Daesosan, a major mountain in the Southeast coast of Yeongdeok, is 282m above sea level. The top of the mountain has a fortress wall made of stone within which the cone-shaped signaling station sits. Daesosan Signaling Station is a well-preserved example of the communication tools used during the Joseon Dynasty.
