Hello! Here is the detailed information for ‘Seodong Park and Gungnamji Pond (서동공원과 궁남지)’.

💡 Overview

Gungnamji Pond, a Historic Site located in Seodong Park, is Korea’s first artificial pond and was created by King Mu from the Baekje dynasty, who fell in love with and eventually married Princess Seonhwa. Gungnamji, literally means a pond in the south of the royal palace in Korean, was the given name according to the Samguksagi records.

The king then had willow trees planted around the bank and had an artificial mound constructed in the middle of the lake.
