Ujiyeondae Pavilion

A yeondae was an old military means of communication: when an enemy invasion or other emergency arose, it sent smoke signals by day and fire signals by night to alert nearby villages or troops quickly. It differed from a bongsudae (a beacon-fire station) in that it stood on high ground near the coast, whereas a bongsudae was located on a mountain summit. Ujiyeondae, under the jurisdiction of Myeongwol-jin garrison, was restored to its present form in 1976 based on historical research. It measures 8.5 by 8.5 metres at the top, 8.9 by 8.7 metres at the base, and stands 2.7 metres high. This station exchanged signals with Gwideok Yeondae to the east and Jukdo Yeondae to the west.
