Hagmujeong Pavillion

Deep in the pine grove on a hill behind the village stands Hakmujeong Pavillion, which is one of the Eight Sights of Sokcho. It was built in 1934 by Oh Yoon-hwan, a Confucian scholar and Korean independence activist from Sangdomun Village, and his disciples. He named nine attractions in the village and wrote nine songs, two of which were dedicated to this pavilion.
