Machine-translated from Korean. Show original

Dongcheon Seoksil is located on the mountainside facing the front of Nakseojae, overlooking Buyongdong at a glance as the world of immortals in Neo-Confucianism. In a space of 3,306㎡ (about 1,000 pyeong), a one-room pavilion, stone gate, stone pond, stone stream, stone waterfall, and stone field were created, and it was a place for drinking tea and composing poetry. Dongcheon Seoksil was named after the term dongcheon bokji (洞天福地), which refers to a famous scenic mountain where immortals live, and is the pavilion located at the highest point in this area for rest and reading. In the stone pond, water lilies were planted, the pond was divided in two, and a hole was artificially dug so water could flow in and out, and a bridge was made and called Huihwanggyo. Even now, in front of the stone chamber, Yongduam Rock, where a pulley is said to have been hung, and Chabawi Rock, where tea was boiled and drunk, remain.
From the Yun Seon-do Garden ticket office to the entrance of Dongcheon Seoksil takes about 5 minutes by car, and from the entrance of Dongcheon Seoksil to Dongcheon Seoksil, you must hike up the mountain for about 20 minutes. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, a cultural commentator is stationed at Seyeonjeong, so it is recommended to listen to explanations about Dongcheon Seoksil, Goksudang, and Nakseojae before visiting.
