Tangeumdae Terrace & Park is a historically significant place named Tangeumdae because it was where Ureuk, the celebrated musician of the Silla Dynasty (BC 57-AD 935), used to played the gayageum (traditional stringed instrument).

During the Imjin War (Japanese invasion, 1592-1598), Tangeumdae Terrace was also the battlefield where General Shin Rip and his troops fought fierce battles against the invading forces. This is why a monument for the fallen heroes was built at this site.

The area is widely known as Tangeum Pak as there are various other attractions around the area such as a monument honoring the patriotic spirit of General Shin Rip, an outdoor music hall, sculptures, grass field. Tangeumdae Park has a beautiful pine-tree-shaded circular walk. Highlights include the Chungju Archery Center, a stylish café, and a Daeheung Buddhist temple. There’s a memorial to Master Ureuk and a viewing platform with panoramas across Imperial Lake towards Jungangtap Park.

Tangeumdae Terrace & Park is Scenic Spot #42.
