Wanju-gun Builds 'Bongsangjeong' at Sangjanggi Park in Bongdong-eup

Traditional Two-Story Octagonal Pavilion... Used as a Community Rest Area

[Wanju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Wanju County announced on the 29th that it has constructed the traditional octagonal pavilion, Bongsangjeong (鳳翔亭), in Seongjingi Park, Bongdong-eup.

The two-story pavilion's first floor will serve as a resting area for village residents, while the second floor will be provided as a resting place and observatory for tourists.

The name ‘Bongsang’ comes from an old place name within Bongdong-eup, and the signboard calligraphy was inscribed by Hyo-bong Ye Tae-myeong. Ye Tae-myeong wrote the commemorative tree planting marker for the 2018 inter-Korean summit and also created the ‘Jeonju’ signboard at the Jeonju tollgate.

On the day, Wanju County held a signboard unveiling ceremony for the construction of Bongsangjeong attended by Park Seong-il, Wanju County Governor, Lee In-sook, county council member, key social organization leaders of Bongdong-eup, and village residents.

Han Sang-hak, head of Sangjanggi Village, said, “I am very pleased that a resting space for residents, a long-standing wish of the village, has been created,” adding, “We will take good care of Seongjingi Park so that it can be a comfortable resting place for residents and tourists.”
