   Royal Tomb of King Gyeongsun, Yeoncheon

   연천 경순왕릉

   King Gyeongsun was the 56th and last king of Silla. His surname was Kim and his given name was Bu. A sixth-generation descendant of King Munseong of Silla, he ascended the throne in 927 after King Gyeongae died in an attack by Gyeon Hwon of Later Baekje. \n When King Gyeongsun took the throne, the nation was divided into Later Baekje, Goryeo, and Unified Silla, and national governance was paralyzed by frequent invasions from Later Baekje and the rise of local noble families. To prevent innocent citizens from suffering further hardship, King Gyeongsun surrendered to Goryeo despite opposition from his subjects and his eldest son, Crown Prince Mae. At that time, Crown Prince Mae entered Geumgangsan Mountain, while the youngest son, Beomgong, entered Hwaeomsa Temple to become a monk. After submitting to Goryeo, King Gyeongsun was appointed as Jeongseunggong, a title equivalent to crown prince, and was granted Yuhwagung Palace as well as Gyeongju as a fief, becoming the first Sasimgwan (Inspector-General). He married Princess Nangnang, the daughter of King Taejo Wang Geon, and had several children before passing away in 978 (the 3rd year of King Gyeongjong's reign of Goryeo), 43 years later.MoreLess

   Sunguijeon Shrine Site, Yeoncheon

   연천 숭의전지

   Sunguijeon Shrine Site is the place where Sunguijeon once stood during the Joseon dynasty to house the spirit tablets of the kings and meritorious subjects of the preceding Goryeo dynasty and offer ancestral rituals. This location was originally home to Angamsa Temple, the personal prayer temple of King Taejo Wang Geon of Goryeo. In 1397 (the 6th year of King Taejo's reign of Joseon), a shrine housing the spirit tablet of King Taejo of Goryeo was established here, marking the beginning of today's Sunguijeon. Following the construction of the shrine, by royal order in 1399 (the 1st year of King Jeongjong's reign), the spirit tablets of eight Goryeo kings were enshrined, including King Taejo, King Hyejong, King Seongjong, King Hyeonjong, King Munjong, King Wonjong (King Chunggyeong), King Chungnyeol, and King Gongmin. Later in 1425 (the 7th year of King Sejong's reign), considering that only five kings were honored at the Joseon Jongmyo Shrine, it was deemed inappropriate to venerate eight kings at a shrine for the Goryeo dynasty; thus, the enshrinement was reduced to four kings: Taejo, Hyeonjong, Munjong, and Wonjong.MoreLess

   Dangposeong Fortress, Yeoncheon

   연천 당포성

   Dangposeong Fortress is a stone fortress built by blocking the eastern entrance of a triangular cliffside plateau formed between the Imjin River main stream and Danggyesatgang Stream flowing into Dangponaru Ferry. Along with Horogoru and Eundae-ri Fortress, it is a riverside flatland fortress found exclusively along the northern banks of the Imjin and Hantan rivers in Yeoncheon-gun. Considering the artifacts recovered from the site and the construction techniques used, it is believed to have been originally built by Goguryeo to defend against Baekje and Silla south of the Imjin River, and was later remodeled by Silla after its capture to serve as an outpost against northern forces.MoreLess

   Jaeinpokpo Falls

   재인폭포

   Originating from Jijangbong Peak (877m), this waterfall is situated deep in the western part of the Hantan River. The clear and refreshing stream created by the approximately 18-meter-high waterfall, combined with the surrounding lush forest, offers picturesque scenery. It is especially popular with visitors in summer and autumn. According to legend, a local magistrate wanted to claim the exceptionally beautiful wife of a tightrope performer (jaein) for himself, so he ordered the performer to walk a tightrope over this waterfall, causing his death. The performer's wife then took her own life. Since then, the waterfall, steeped in the sorrow of the jaein, has been called Jaeinpokpo Falls.MoreLess

Typhoon Observatory is situated 800 meters from the Armistice Line and 1,600 meters from a North Korean guard post, making it famous as the observatory closest to North Korea along the 155-mile Armistice Line.MoreLess
