Seorimyeondae Pavilion

A yeondae was a communication device that used torches and smoke to relay urgent political and military news. It functioned no differently from a bongsudae in purpose, except that a yeondae was generally built on a hill or by the shore, while a bongsudae was set on a mountain summit, sending signals by smoke in the daytime and by torch at night. Seorimyeondae Pavilion stands by the coast and belonged to the Moseul garrison, with six byeoljang (garrison officers) and twelve bonggun (beacon guards) from Daejeong-hyeon county stationed there. The station standing today was repaired in 1977 and is 3.9m high. It was linked to Udu Yeondae to the north and Musu Yeondae to the south.
