Paju Imjin Eight Scenic Views

The origin of the "Eight Scenic Views of the Imjin River," as we know it, comes from the "Eight Views of Naesojeong," a poem that describes the beautiful scenery around the Imjin River as seen from Naesojeong, a pavilion located on the banks of the Imjin River in what is now Jangsan-ri, Munsan-eup. Naesojeong was a pavilion located south of Imjin Port and was built by Sin Seung-seon, who held the position of Grand Prince Councilor during the Joseon Dynasty. During the reign of King Sukjong, the scholar Ho-guk Nam Yong-ik climbed Naesojeong and composed a poem about the beautiful scenery of the Imjin River, which became the "Eight Views of Naesojeong," the origin of the Eight Scenic Views of the Imjin River.
