The area overlooks Uldolmok, and features a shrine from the past that commemorates the great victory that was achieved by Admiral Yi Sun-Sin in the Battle of Myeongnyang (1597) and a large geobukbae (turtle ship). The area hosts a history festival every October and covers many history-related experience programs throughout the year.
