Gwangokji Pond, located in Hajung-dong, is a pond dating back to the reign of King Sejo of the Joseon Dynasty. It is privately managed by the family of Kwon Man-hyeong (an inspector of the Office of the Inspector General), the son-in-law of Kang Hui-maeng. The pond measures 23 meters wide and 18.5 meters long. It is said that Kang Hui-maeng (1424-1483), a civil servant and agricultural scholar of the early Joseon Dynasty, brought lotus seeds from the Ming Dynasty and planted them here. As they spread widely, the area came to be called "Yeonseong," meaning "Village of Lotus."
