Samjeondo Monument, Stone stele in Songpa District, South Korea

The Samjeondo Monument features inscriptions in three languages - Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese characters - on its rectangular stone surface with dimensions of 3.95 meters high.

The stele was erected in 1639 following the surrender of Joseon Korea to the Qing dynasty, marking the location where King Injo formally submitted to the Qing Emperor.

The monument represents a pivotal moment in Korean history, displaying trilingual inscriptions that document the power relations between Joseon Korea and Imperial China.

The monument stands in a dedicated area near Jamsil Station, with information panels providing detailed explanations about its historical context and architectural features.

The stone monument underwent a significant restoration process in 2010, returning it to a location closer to its original placement near the Han River crossing point.
