Nakseongdae Park was built as a tribute to General Kang Gam-chan (948-1031) of the Goryeo dynasty. In 1973, the city of Seoul reorganized the birthplace of General Kang, resulting in changes to the park. Located inside the park are Anguksa Shrine, the general’s birthplace, and a three-story stone pagoda, which was made during the Goryeo dynasty. The 4.48-meter-high pagoda is made of granite, and is called “Kang Gam-chan Tap (pagoda)” or “Kang Gam-chan Nakseongdae Tap”.

*Anguksa Shrine

Anguksa is a shrine built in 1974 emulating the wooden architecture style of the Goryeo era. The shrine has high ceilings and houses the portrait of General Kang Gam-chan. The shrine is located on the road leading to the back gate of Seoul National University and has become a popular place in the area.

*Nakseongdae Yuji

Nakseongdae Yuji is the birthplace of General Kang Gam-chan and the original location of the three-story pagoda. During the maintenance of Nakseongdae area in 1973, the pagoda was moved into the vicinity of Anguksa Shrine, and a two-meter tall monument was erected in its original location to mark the historical significance of the site.

⊙ THE WELL SAEM HOSPITAL OF KOREAN MEDICINE (더웰샘한방병원)

View detailed guide on Korea Trip Guide →

Integrative medicine, which links the strengths of Korea’s traditional medicine and Western medicine, is cutting-edge convergent medicine that provides optimal services for patients in most fields, except surgery and emergency medicine.
Traditional Korean treatments and modern medical treatments can deliver superior results compared to stand-alone therapies when applied in a patient-centered, multidisciplinary, and integrative manner. This is especially important for patients with intractable diseases such as cancer, severe chronic pain caused by aging and degenerative changes, and systemic symptoms resulting from recurrent inflammation and metabolic disorders. In such cases, integrative medicine represents a new paradigm that seeks not only physical health but also holistic recovery.
THE WELL SAEM HOSPITAL OF KOREAN MEDICINE pursues this integrative medicine, supporting patients’ faster recovery while also promoting the excellence of the Korean healthcare system worldwide, thereby aiming to create a pain-free, healthy world for all.
