Hwangtohyeon Historic Site, Jeongeup

It is a small hill covered with yellow earth and was a site of victory where the Donghak peasant army greatly defeated the government forces during the 1894 Gabo Donghak Revolution. In early April 1894, when the government forces pursued the peasant army, the peasant army lured them and fought a fierce battle from the night of April 6 to the dawn of April 7, achieving a great victory. On that day, they occupied the Gobu government office, and took Heungdeok, Gochang, and Mujang, and the flames of the peasant revolution spread to the Gyeongsang and Chungcheong regions. Now, at the ridge of Hwangtohyeon here, there is the Gabo Donghak Revolution Memorial Tower, and on the southeastern slope of this memorial tower is the Hwangtohyeon Battlefield Memorial Hall. It is a place that gives a strong impression with the red earth mound and fields across the road seen when sitting with one's back to the tower and looking down.
