Gang Gam-chan's birthplace, designated as the 3rd monument of Seoul on August 21, 1974, is the home of general Gang Gam-chan (948-1031), who defeated 100,000 troops of Georan. The birthplace was called Nakseongdae because the big star fell from the sky on the day of birth. There is a three-story stone pagoda of the Goryeo Dynasty that tells the location of Nakseongdae. In 1973, during the cleanup of Nakseongdae, the three-story pagoda was moved to the grounds of Nakseongdae Park Anguksa Temple. In the Goryeo Dynasty, the place name was Geumcheon, and a three-storied pagoda was built to signify the birthplace of the general.

This is a statue of Maitreya Buddha from the Joseon Dynasty, carved shallowly into a large cliff rock on the north side of Mt. Gwanak that measures 5 x 6 m.

The Buddha has a peculiar posture, sitting obliquely to the left. The head, the hair, and a slim face that looks rather abundant show a good technique. These characteristics are well represented in the slender body and the oval shoulders, etc. The Maami Shunbul is regarded as an epitome 17th-century Joseon Buddha statues.

'규 (Kyu)' of Kyujanggak is the name of the star that controls the sentence, and '규장 (Kyujang)' means the emperor's handwriting. Thus, ‘규장각 (Kyujangak)’ means “building that kept the handwritten texts of the king or emperor.” Kyujanggak was first established in 1694 (20th year of King Sukjong), and since its inception in 1776, the function of Kyujanggak has been extended to institutions that nurture talents for the country. Kyujanggak was a treasure of human resources and a cradle of scholarship. In 1990, the current building of Kyujanggak was completed, and the books of Kyujanggak were transferred. In 2006, Seoul National University Kyujanggak and Seoul National University Korea Culture Research Institute were merged into a research institution called Kyujanggak Korean Studies Institute.
