The park passes through National Road No. 24 and Local Road 825 and is within 15 minutes of National Roads No. 1, 22 and 23. Riverside areas, a vegetable complex, floricultural complex and prehistoric sites are connected and the history of Sotdaeseom is emphasized.

    • What is a Sotdae?
    • Traditional Koreans placed wooden or stone birds on a wooden pole or a 4-stone pillar and installed them at the entrance to a village. There are Hwajudae and Haengjudae (Baegukhyeong) Sotdaes according to the tendency of the Joseon Dynasty when noblemen rose in the world and gained fame by passing a state-run examination.

    • What is a Jangseung?
    • Nasan Sotdae Jangseung Park Traditional Koreans engraved a human face on a stone or a tree and carved hands in the middle or wrote Dangjanggun and Jujanggun to place a couple of them (male and female) at the entrance to a village. They acted as guardian angels at the gate of a castle or at the entrance to a temple or became a milestone. They were called Jangseung or Beoksu. In particular, Beoksu is the old name for a Jangseung and used only in some parts of Honam and Gyeongnam.
