It is said that in 1380 Yi Seong-gye held a victory feast here on his way back from beating Japanese raiders at Hwangsan. A small pavilion sits on the hill, and from it the whole sea of hanok roofs opens below. The stairs are steep but take only 5–10 minutes. A stone monument set up by Emperor Gojong in 1900 stands there too. It is Jeollabuk-do Monument No. 16.
