Seochang field
It is the time to walk now if you enjoyed the rest sufficiently around the Reservoir Jeonpyeong Lake.
The Field paththat the rice is rustled in both side street if we entered by walking straight along the lake.
It is the road presenting the unexpected landscape as the rice is dyed light green in the spring, dyed green color in the midsummer and dyed golden color in the autumn, is changed to the image like the snowy fields in the winter when the rice is cut off.
There is the low uphill road to the left side if we walk along the wide open field path, the entrance of Dongha village is reached if we face this place.
The Dongha village is the place that ‘the Seochang Mandeuri Harvesting Rituals’ has been performed as the neighboring village of Seochang Field.
It is the reason that wall paintings reproducing the Seochang Mandeuri Harvesting Rituals can be seen if we walk the village road.
The Mandeuri is the final weeding work of rice paddy as the work pulling out the weed until the rice is grown up to some extent after the rice transplantation.
It would be good to look on the harvesting rituals being the rare landscape in the forest fromyour apartment if you visited here sometime this year as the Seochang Mandeuri Harvesting Rituals is held in the field of Seha-dong, in July every year.
The Man-gwi jeong comes into the sight if we ascend straight by taking the photograph with the wall painting in the background.
When Chang Woo Jang erected the village school in the underwater in 1671, it was seen as the beginning as the Man-gwijeong is the underwater Pavilion erected in the middle of pond with 1,400 pyong.
Descendants of Chang Woo JANG repaired this place in 1945 by reconstructing in 1934.
The Seuphang Tower, theMookam Village School across the bridge are standing in a line beside Man-gwijeong in this pond.
The Man-gwijeong is the place where four seasons are beautiful.
The iris and the daffodil are dyed yellow in the spring, the Lycoris squamigera Maxim and the Lotus bloom in the summer and the cool feeling is given as the willow is dyed light green.
The classical grace and dignity is added in the autumn with the garden zinnia and the lotus, the different landscape is made as the white snow is coming down on the dark green pine tree in the winter.
This is the place making us think once again if there is the attraction with the dark season like this.
We would arrive at the Seochang Native Culture Village if we walk the degree of 900m along the big road to the left side after moving again the footstep unwilling to move from the Man-gwijeong.

Observation deck of Seochang Sunset
It will make us feel that we are in a dream that the whole world is dyed red as the red light is laid at the wide plains murmuring as the sun sets .
The sunset at Seochang Field is better as we are able to look the far away from here to the red colored horizon if we look on the observation deck of Seochang Sunset.
This observation deckmay be found if we turn to the side of Younsan Riverside by walking about 20 minutes along the Seochang Field.
Let’s have the time lowering myself by looking silently as much as I contain the image of wide plains by lowering the complicated thought for a while by appreciating the Sunset on the observation deck.
