It is located 5km off from wondang station. It seems that it used to be a calm and peaceful rural village at a glance. But it reflects our self-portrait changing in the transition from an agrarian society to an industrial society and in the process of city extention. The disorder of unplanned development requires another redevelopment. The worlds of a city are cut into pieces like a fragment, and the landscape of market located in the steep street corner is shown as a disturbance and reality. The architecture of former elementary school still remains in the palyground over the wall. What welcome us there are a church, the virgin Mary, and an ald paulownia. We, who were grown up in a city, feel uncomfortable and strange in a calm situation.
