With a magnificent view made up of cliffs and old pine trees, Gyeongcheondae Cliff was once called Jacheondae due to the belief that it came from the sky. Muujeong Pavilion, which was built during the Joseon dynasty, is located on the cliff. Gyeongcheondae Cliff was often used to hold a ritual for rain. It offers a spectacular view of the winding Nakdonggang River and beautiful rock formations peeking through the branches of the old pine trees. The path to the observatory goes through a forest of pine trees.
