Archery Sign Yeongdo
Copied from other source - koreatimes;
Taejongdae is a cliff formed from volcanic ashes.
It was given its name because historical records show that King Taejong Muyeol of Silla Kingdom (57 B.C. - 935 A.D.) frequently visited the cliff to practice archery.
|
So archery became icon and a sign structure has been put up as tourist signature.
