Daepoyeondae 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 Daejeong-hyeon, Jeju-mok, Daepoyeondae stands on a hill north of the coast at Daepo-dong, Seogwipo. Using torch fire and smoke, one signal was raised in normal times, two when a suspicious ship appeared, three when it approached close to land, four when it invaded the land, and five when battle began. Daepoyeondae exchanged signals with Mahuicheonyeondae to the east and Byeollocheonyeondae to the west.
