Soangnu Pavilion
  • Located at 6 San, Gayang-dong, slightly east of the summit of Gungsan Mountain, this pavilion was built by Lee Yu, who was the governor of Dongbok, in the 13th year of the reign of King Youngjo of the Joseon Dynasty. He resigned his post and built this pavilion as a place to enjoy poetry and the arts. The name Soangnu originates from the splendor of the view from the pavilion, which is as nice as that seen from Yueyanglou Pavilion in Dongting Lake, China. When Gyeomjae Jeong Seon, the great Korean painter, took office as the governor, he visited this pavilion and drew paintings almost every day for five years. This pavilion was later destroyed, but in May 1994 it was restored by Gangseo-gu on its historic site to pay tribute to Jeong Seon's accomplishments and his artistic spirit.
