Sokcho [Yeonggeumjeong]

When you think of Sokcho, Yeonggeumjeong! If you have ever been to Sokcho, you must have visited Yeonggeumjeong. It is such a well-known place! Yeonggeumjeong is located inside Dongmyeong Port. Yeonggeumjeong is not actually a pavilion, but a mountain made of stone. In the past, when waves hit the rocks, a mysterious yulgok could be heard, as if a god was calling a fairy. The sound was similar to a geomungo, so the stone (rock) mountain was called Yeonggeumjeong. However, during the Japanese colonial period, in order to develop Sokcho Port, the rock mountain was broken down and a port was built, so it changed into the wide rock shape it is today, and the mysterious yulgok of the past cannot be heard. 😢 However, it is still a place that many people visit! Although you cannot hear the beautiful sounds of the past, Yeonggeumjeong is still beautiful. How about appreciating the surrounding scenery and the sound of the waves here? #Gangwon-do travel #Sokcho travel #Yeonggeumjeong #day trip #travel sickness #travel course recommendation #Yeonggeumjeong
