A pavilion on a rock hill and another over the sea

Address

43 Yeonggeumjeong-ro, Sokcho

A pavilion sits on a rocky hill at the end of Dongmyeong Port, and a second one stretches out over the sea. The sound of waves hitting the rocks was said to sound like a geomungo, a Korean zither, which gave the place its name. From the top the town and sea open up, and people come at sunrise. The Sokcho Lighthouse Observatory is just above, so the two are visited together.
