Yeongdeok Daesosan Bongsudae

A beacon station refers to an old means of communication that used torches and smoke to convey urgent news. It is a facility where signals were sent by climbing up a high mountain, lighting a fire, and sending signals through smoke during the day and light at night. As the border became clear during Sejong Dynasty during the Joseon Dynasty, beacon towers were placed on mountain peaks every 12km to systematically build beacon facilities. Among them, Yeongdeokdaesosan Beacon Mound is in a good state of preservation and remains in its original form, so it is considered a good resource to learn about the means of communication during the Joseon Dynasty. If you stand at Daesosan Beacon Mound, you can see Yeongdeok Chuksan Port and Yeonghae-myeon in the distance, and it is also a famous sunrise spot.
