The trees that pray for the peace of the village and the unusual view, Pungdong Dangsanmok and Sanchiseong

It is a kind of Dong festival that has been held for hundreds of years in the village of Dongdung-gu, Ildong-gu, Goyang-si. In other areas, it is practiced in the name of Dodang-gut, Dodangje, and Sansinje. The characteristic is that the blind man carries out the theme with his poetry, Sanchiseong, unlike any other place. It’s held once every two years in the lunar month of October from the 1st to the 5th day of the lunar calendar. Now, in the Pudong area, the event is held under the oak tree that is over 200 years old.

Dangsanmok and resources (Teojutdari, Upyanggari), located in the village of Pungdong, are good resources to know about the folk customs and local beliefs. The village of Pungdong has been called as so since there were many maple trees in the past. Especially, there were many fields where farming is well done. The village has been preserved in its original form with the purpose of the village's good fortune and good harvest origin for hundreds of years and is now transferred to the residential development district.
