Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Gaseonjeong Pavilion is located in Galgye Forest, which lies before the Galgye-ri Im Clan Old House, the former residence of Im Hun (pen name: Galcheon), a renowned filial son and civil official from the mid-Joseon period. Originating from the foot of Deogyusan Mountain, the stream flows through Songgye Valley and reaches Wicheon, where it splits east and west, creating a natural island surrounded by trees. This area is Galgye Forest, one of the 13 scenic spots of Buksang-myeon. Galgye Forest is where Im Hun was born, grew up, and was buried, featuring 200- to 300-year-old pine, Manchurian alder, and zelkova trees. Gaseonjeong Pavilion inside Galgye Forest was built in 1934 by descendants to commemorate Im Hun's virtue. It is a two-story pavilion with a front of 2 kan and a side of 2 kan, featuring an eight-ridge roof. Galgye Forest is also called Gaseon Forest due to the presence of Gaseonjeong Pavilion.
Around Gaseonjeong Pavilion, starting from Galgye Forest, there are numerous pavilions and shrines such as Jaidang, Seokcheonjae, Dogyejeong, Byeongamjeong, Nongunjeong, and Galcheonjeong. Tourist attractions include Wolseong Valley, Songgyesa Temple, Suseungdae, Galgye-ri Im Clan Old House, Nongsan-ri Stone Standing Buddha, Jeong On's Birthplace, and Geumwonsan Natural Recreation Forest.
