Overview

Perched on a cliff overlooking the East Sea, this hexagonal pavilion marks the spot where the monk Uisang is said to have meditated while founding Naksansa Temple. Celebrated as one of the finest of Korea's classic scenic sites, it offers a breathtaking sunrise and coastal view that make it an essential stop at Naksansa.

Original (Korean)

동해 바다를 마주한 절벽 위에 세워진 육각 정자로, 의상대사가 낙산사를 창건할 당시 산세를 살피며 좌선했다고 전해지는 자리에 있습니다. 관동팔경이자 양양 8경으로 꼽힐 만큼 일출과 해안 절경이 아름다워 낙산사를 찾는다면 놓치지 말아야 할 명소입니다.
