Gyeongpodae, Historical pavilion in Gangneung, South Korea
The Gyeongpodae pavilion stands near Gyeongpo Lake and beach, offering panoramic views of both the East Sea and surrounding mountains.
During the Joseon Dynasty, numerous scholars and poets gathered at this pavilion to compose verses while contemplating the natural surroundings.
The site features a large stone inscription with Chinese characters that translate to 'people who do not think far enough find it hard to achieve great things'.
A 4-kilometer bicycle path circles the lake, with rental shops available along the shore for visitors wanting to explore the area.
From the pavilion, observers can spot five different reflections of the moon: in the sea, lake, drinking glass, mind, and the sky.
