전국일주 1 Day - Part 1

오늘만의 블러깅에 대해새삼 스스로에게 미안함을 금할 길이 없다.

나름 연애질 한다고 바빴는데, 이제 그것이 끝났다.

얼마전에 오랜만에 매우 많은 사진을 찍었다.

혼자 떠난 2박 3일간의 여행.

이제 그것을 시작해보려 한다.

2박 3일치고는 매우 많은 곳을 다녀갔다.

전체 나의 일정은 단양, 충주호, 법주사, 속리산, 관촉사, 지리산 화엄사, 지리산 화엄사 및 연기암, 바래봉, 낙안읍성

이곳은 단양팔경중 도담삼봉이다.

도담삼봉에 대한 설명은 다음과 같다.

　

It is said that Chung Do-jeon, who was one of meritorious retainers in Joseon Dynasty, called his alias Sambong and enjoyed his life here during his young days. Originally, Mt. Sambong at Jeongsun-gun, Gangwon Province, had drifted down due to the flood and settled at Dodamsambong where it now is located. In older times, Danyang was compelled to pay taxes to Jeongsun-gun every year, but didn’t have to do so, since a boy named Chung Do-jeon had insisted that the Sambong, which stands in the way of currents, should be returned to its original place. There is a hexagonal pavilion named Samdojeong on Janggunbong. In the autumn of the 42nd Year (1766) during the period of King Yeongjo, Danyang county chief Cho Jeong-se had constructed Neungyeongjeong, which was later ruined. In 1807, Kim Do-seong had set up a wooden square arbor, which was later washed away by deluge in 1972. Chairman Kim Sang-su at Sungshin Cement Co. reestablished a concrete hexagonal pavilion called Samdojeong in October 1976. At this peaceful resting place, anyone can feel like a poet while reciting a poem, and be absorbed in a fairytale world. Needless to say, its beautiful landscape inspired many classical scholars to create excellent poems:

The mountain is red like autumn leaves, and the water is clear like jade. The sky is aglow with the setting sun at Dodamsambong. When I sleep with my head on a hermit’s raft over a greenish rock, Golden waves are rippling under stars and moon that are shining.

Dodamsambong is well-equipped with an advanced karaoke-type music fountain, which was built for the first time in Korea in Nov. 1997, costing 700 mil. KRW, and which has been fully operational since May 1998. The melody fountain, with computer program inserted, spurts out water in as many as 36 forms to the pitch of sounds while visitors sing along and it is a popular tourist attraction.
