Why go

Yeongbyeokjeong is a Korean traditional pavilion (jeongja) site, with a historic pavilion on a scenic location — typically a hilltop or stream-side setting. As with other traditional jeongja sites, Yeongbyeokjeong preserves the Confucian tradition of integrating built form with natural landscape for poetic-aesthetic purposes. For travelers seriously interested in Korean classical landscape aesthetics, Yeongbyeokjeong is one of the cleaner specialty single picks.
