This is considered one of Korea's three greatest pavilions, alongside Jinju's Chokseongnu and Pyeongyang's Bubyeongnu. This large two-story pavilion with a paljak roof is a popular spot to relax and cool down on a hot day. From its location on a cliff near the town center, it offers commanding views over the Miryang River. Originally a subsidiary pavilion of the Silla Dynasty's Yeongnamsa Temple, the current structure was rebuilt in 1884.
The Yeongnamnu or Yeongnamru is a pavilion on a cliff overlooking the curve of the Miryang River in central Miryang, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. It dates to the Joseon Dynasty and is one of the central cultural treasures of Miryang. The current structure was built in 1884 according to the design of then-magistrate Yi In-jae. During the Joseon period, this was known as one of the three great pavilions of Korea, together with the Chokseongnu in Jinju and the Pubyŏk pavilion in Pyongyang.
