Gyeongpodae

Getting around: Located on the shore of Gyeongpo Lake; reachable by the same local bus or taxi route serving Gyeongpo Beach, a short walk from the lakeside path.
Hours: Grounds generally open daylight hours; check for any seasonal restriction.

Gyeongpodae is a traditional wooden pavilion overlooking Gyeongpo Lake, historically prized as one of the eight great scenic viewpoints of the Gangwon coast (Gwandong Palgyeong) and a favorite subject of Joseon-era poets and painters for its reflection of the moon on the lake's still water. It's a small, quiet structure rather than a major building, valued mainly for the view it frames.

It pairs naturally with a walk around Gyeongpo Lake's perimeter path and a visit to nearby Ojukheon House, all within the same general lakeside area.
