Seokgak Pavilion in Yanga-ri, Namhae

These are pictographic characters carved into a flat rock on Busoam Rock at Geumsan Mountain. Also known as Seobulgwacha (徐市過此, meaning "Seobul passed this way"), the inscription has never been deciphered, so its meaning remains unknown. According to tradition, during the reign of Qin Shi Huang of China, his attendant Seobul came to Geumsan Mountain in search of the elixir of immortality on Samsinsan, the Three Spirit Mountains, and after enjoying a hunt here before departing, is said to have carved this to leave a trace of their visit for later generations.
