About

Considered the best among the eight scenic sites of Gwangdong, Gyeongpodae Pavilion is a beautiful pavilion situated on the northern hill of Gyeongpoho Lake. First built during the Goryeo dynasty, it has been relocated several times to its current position. When you go up the pavilion, you can take in the mirror-clear Gyeongpoho Lake and the distant East Sea at a glance.

In particular, viewing the moon from Gyeongpodae Pavilion has been loved by many poets and calligraphers since ancient times. There is a romantic story that you can see five moons: one in the sky, one in the lake, one in the sea, one in the wine glass, and one in the eyes of your beloved. Enjoy the elegance created by nature and history in a tranquil landscape.
