General View of Samsangdae and Pungyokdae

Groves of various trees around the pavilions provide places for relaxation away from the eyes of the world. Samsangdae and Pungyokdae are located at the end of the walk which passes by Gwangamdang and Ori Yeong-u. There are nothing but trees, stones and earth around the pavilions, which also seem as if they were a part of the natural landscape. The scent of mountains strongly hangs in the air, and royal azalea and peony blossoms along the stone paved path behind Samsangdae as well as around Pungyokdae attract visitors' attention.

Structure of Samsangdae and Pungyokdae

Samsangdae has a checkered floor, on which posts are erected. And then the posts uphold a cross-beam and eaves. Rafters supported by purlins form the ceiling, and finally plain decorations are put in the triangular part under the gable roof. On the other hand, Pungyokdae which is smaller than Samsangdae has eaves which seem to be rolled up, and its cross-beam and shapely rafters are fully exposed. The crossed beams and closely framed rafters of Pungyokdae resemble the Seonjaseoggarae (rafters framed like the ribs of a fan) of Baekje.

Stylishness of Samsangdae and Pungyokdae

The stone landmarks near Samsangdae and Pungyokdae seem to represent characters of the pavilions respectively. Samsangdae looks like a graceful, elegant woman as represented by the shape of the eaves which are gently rolled up at the corners of the roof. The balustrades of the two pavilions resemble each other in that they are composed of similar crossrails, upright supports and supplementary frames. In addition, a cheongsachorong ("lantern covered with colorful silk") is hung on a massive post of Samsangdae, and make it more beautiful.
