Typical Pavilion (age unknown)
This small pavilion sits near the edge of the hill that defines the village's western boundary. Beyond the hill to the west are many acres of rice fields farmed by residents of the village. The purpose of this pavilion is not known—it does not appear in any guides—but it is probably a 'jeongsa', a pavilion for male socialization, where Confucian scholars would gather in the past to debate or pass the time.
