"The site lies in Jeongna-dong, Samcheok-si, Gangwon-do. Samcheok Port is located to the east, with an industrial zone to the east and the south, a commercial zone to the north, and a residential zone to the north west. In A.D. 512 (the 13th year of King Jijeung's reign), Silla general Isabu set off from this spot in Samcheok with his marine troops to conquer Usanguk, today known as Ulleungdo Island, and Dokdo Island, which was part of the Silla territory."
"Yukhyangsan Mountain, located at the centre of the site, was once an oceanic island at the time of Isabu's departure, but has now become a mountainous region. Underneath this reclaimed land are the lower reaches of Yukhyangsan Mountain, which was once an island. The lower part of the Yukhyangsan Mountain was excavated, the site was lowered to its former altitude, and water was introduced."
The site lies in Jeongna-dong, Samcheok-si, Gangwon-do, adjacent to Samcheok Port and flanked by industrial zones to the east and south, commercial zones to the north, and residential zones to the northwest. In A.D. 512 Silla general Isabu departed from this spot with marine troops to conquer Usanguk (Ulleungdo) and Dokdo. Yukhyangsan Mountain at the site's centre was once an oceanic island; its lower reaches remain beneath reclaimed land. The lower part of the mountain was excavated, the site lowered to its former altitude, and water introduced to form a pond named Yukhyang-ji, evoking an island on the sea. An exhibition space will trace historic features and serve as a new cultural site to recover lost landscape elements.
