Yongdudondae Observation Post

This is a natural fortification, used to guard the Ganghwa Strait. Serving as an outpost for the Sondolmok Fort, this doubled as a battery. This site was where the fierce battle during Sinmiyangyo (American Disturbance of 1871) took place. Its ramparts were restored in 1977, and a monument was erected here.
