Nandong Village

Nandong Village is a village located in Gurye-gun, Gwangju, Jeollanam-do. There are two famous Dangsan trees here. If the Dangsan tree standing next to the Jotap is the grandfather Dangsan tree, the grandmother Dangsan tree in Nandong Village is located inside the village and protects the well-being of the village. The village holds a Dangsan rite every year on the first day of the first lunar month, and it is held in two places: the upper Dangsan where the grandfather tree is located and the lower Dangsan where the grandmother tree is located. It is located below Jichobong Peak, where the Jirisan Ecological Forest is located, and like Dangdong Village, it is located halfway up the mountain, so it has a good view down to the fields. The Jiri Mountain trail follows the road to the right of the village. At the end of the road, several pine trees as old as the village's history are growing together. A shrine has been set up in the middle of the pine forest, and there is also a pavilion, making it a good place to rest.
