Jocheonyeondae Pavilion

A yeondae was a means of communication that used torches and smoke to relay urgent political and military news. It functioned no differently from a bongsudae, a signal-fire beacon mound, except that a yeondae was generally built on a hill or by the coast, whereas a bongsudae was set on a mountain peak, sending signals by smoke during the day and by fire at night. Jocheonyeondae exchanged signals with Waepo Yeondae to the east and Byeoldo Yeondae to the west. Six byeoljang and twelve bonggun from Jocheonjin, the local garrison, were stationed here on guard, and the beacon station's present appearance dates from a repair carried out in 1975.
