Yeonggwang Beopseongjin Supjaengi

This is an artificial forest created in the 9th year of King Jungjong of the Joseon Dynasty (1514) when Beopseongjinseong Fortress was built to protect Beopseongpo and Beopseongpo Village. ‘Jaengin’ means castle, and ‘Supjaengi’ means a castle made of forest. It was created for about 300m along the ridge of the mountain at the crest of the local road from Beopseongpo Village towards Hongnong. The zelkova trees that are over 300 years old along the fortress wall have played the role of a protective forest protecting Beopseong Port and the village, and local folk events such as the Dano Ceremony, Yongwangje, and Seonyu Nori on Dano Day have been held here. Beopseongjin and the forest harmonize with the port to create a beautiful scenery, folk events continue to take place, and it is a famous spot with outstanding historical and cultural value, including the appearance of an old naval camp from the Joseon Dynasty. It was originally connected as one, but was divided into two when a local road was opened. Currently, Buyong Bridge connects two forests over the road.
