Sugeunyeondae Pavilion

A yeondae was a means of communication that used torch fire and smoke to convey urgent political and military news. It served the same function as a bongsudae (beacon mound), but while yeondae were usually built on hills or coastal areas, bongsudae were set up on mountain peaks, sending signals by smoke in the daytime and by torch fire at night. Belonging to Jeju Fortress, Sugeunyeondae stands beside the coastal road in Yongdam-dong, Jeju City. It was repaired in 1978 and now stands 2.9 m high. Six generals and twelve beacon-watch soldiers stationed at Jeju Fortress guarded it around the clock in three shifts, exchanging signals with Byeoldoyeondae to the east and Jobuyeondae to the west.
