Agyang Chwiganrim Forest
Korean name악양 취간림
Machine-translated from Korean. Show original
Agyang Chwiganrim is a forest created along the Agyangcheon Stream in Jeongseo-ri, Agyang-myeon, which was the center of Hadong before the Joseon Dynasty, to protect the water outlet, and in 2000 it won the Excellence Award in the village forest category at the Beautiful Forests of Korea National Competition.
In 1931, Mohanjeong Pavilion was built to honor the will of Han Yuhan, but it no longer exists today. Han Yuhan is known to have served as an official during the reign of King Injong of Goryeo, but due to the tyranny of Yi Jagyeom, he lived in hiding in Agyang. Later, when the pavilion's name was changed to Chwiganjeong, the name of the forest was also changed to Chwiganrim. Chwiganrim contains the Agyang Anti-Japanese Fighter Memorial Tower and 13 individual monuments. In addition, the Tower of Peace has been erected to honor the will of the late grandmother Jeong Seo-un, who was a Japanese military 'comfort woman'.
Chwiganrim is an area that Hadong County has designated and managed as a natural recreation area, and in summer people visit to enjoy water activities and escape the heat. In a space where the dense forest and water blend together, you can take a leisurely walk and feel nature, making it a good place to enjoy the scenery of Agyang and rest for a while.
