Cheonjedan are altars set up by people a long time ago to offer goods to Heaven. In old records such as the Samguksagi (History of the Three Kingdoms), there are records that "The Silla Kingdom organized rituals in Taebaeksan Mountain, which it considered as a Bugak Mountain (Northern Mountain, one of the mountains for rituals)." This shows that Taebaeksan Mountain was considered to be a holy mountain in the past. Cheonjedan, or the altar, is situated at the summit of Taebaeksan Mountain. With Cheonwangdan altar in the center, there is the Janggundan Altar in the north and a smaller altar in the south. The altars are built by stacking stones, a sign of a sacred ground. The Cheonwangdan altar is made of natural stone. It has an oval shape and measures 27.5 meters in circumference, 3 meters tall, 7.76 meters wide, and 8.26 meters from front to back. The natural stone is a sort of gneiss, with the upper stone being round and the bottom stone rectangular. Such a form is based on the philosophy of Cheonwon Jibang. In the valleys nearby, there are small or large stacked stone pagodas and stone platforms, which were used for prayers. It is forbidden to kill wild animals or break off tree branches in the area.

Jeollanam-do(Yeosu-si)

Located 30㎞ east of Geomundo Island, Baekdo Island is comprised of dozens of uninhabited rock islets. As such, the island is not accessible on foot, but can be viewed from a sightseeing cruise ship. Along with Geomundo and several other islands in the region, Baekdo Island is part of the Dadohae Maritime National Park. Island History Most of Baekdo's legend and history has been dervied by the settlers of Geomundo Island. As Baekdo's islets can be seen from Geomundo, they have always played a part in the daily lives of the people from Geomundo. Rituals are held on Geomundo every August to worship the god that is believed to live on Baekdo, and thought to prevent people with impure minds from visiting by creating dense fog. The number of islets that make up Baekdo remains disputable. The island group was said to be composed of 100 islets, hence Baekdo ("baek" meaning "hundred", and "do" meanining "island"). However, modern day counts vary, from anywhere between 24 and 67, according to the actions of the tides. The official number of islets is 39. Baekdo Island is divided in to two island groups: Sangbaekdo to the north, and Habaekdo to the south. During the Japanese occupation of the area, the names of island groups were reversed; Habaekdo, located closer to Japan, had been referred to as the northern group. The names were changed back to its original state during the 1990's.
