Gyeongpodae Pavilion, Gangneung

Gyeongpodae Pavilion, Gangneung is a place of long literary history, visited by poets and scholars from within and beyond the region who came to appreciate its natural scenery while cultivating learning and refining the mind. It is celebrated in the mid-Goryeo poet Kim Geuk-gi's poem 'Gyeongpodae' and his 'Gangneung Palyeong' (Eight Poems of Gangneung), the late-Goryeo scholar An Chuk's 'Gwandong Palgyeong' (Eight Scenic Views of Gwandong), and the Joseon poet Jeong Cheol, styled Songgang, in his own 'Gwandong Palgyeong'. Since its construction in 1326, the thirteenth year of King Chungsuk of Goryeo, records survive in considerable detail of one relocation and several subsequent restorations, and records predating its construction have also been preserved, making it an important pavilion — five bays wide and five bays deep — through which the changes of each period can be traced in concrete detail.
