About

This is the place where the legend says Sinmun of Silla, the son of Munmu of Silla, obtained Manpasikjeok, a mysterious flute that calms all the worries of the country, from a dragon in the East Sea imbued with his father's spirit. The name 'Igyeondae Pavilion' is taken from the I Ching, meaning 'seeing what is beneficial'. If you climb up here, Daewangam, the underwater tomb where Munmu of Silla who unified the Three Kingdoms rests, comes into view at a glance.

Sitting in the pavilion and listening to the sound of the waves of the blue East Sea, you can feel as if you have entered a scene from a legend of Silla. Take a time of quiet contemplation at Igyeondae Pavilion, where historical significance and beautiful coastal scenery are in harmony.
