Hanbyeokdang

Hanbyeokdang is a many-storied building made by cutting the cliff of Balsanmeori at the foot of Seungamsan Mountain, and was called Hanbyeokcheongyeon, one of the eight scenic views of juice. The area west of from it was called Jaman-dong or Juryu-dong. Since it was well-known not only in the Jeonju area, but also as a scenic view of Honam, Hanbyeokdang has been frequently visited by poets and visitors who have composed many poems about it. The poems and prose in Honameupji written by 19 eminent writers including Lee Kyongjun, Lee Kyongyo, Lee Kibal, and Kim Jinsang, give us a glimpse of the refined pleasures of that period. We cannot tell the exact year when Hanbyeokdang was named as such for the first time, but it was apparently first called "Woldangru." The phrase "Hanbyeok" in the name is derived from the phrase "Byeokokhanryu" and it was apparently named by later generation.
