Let's take a tour of Jeseungdang Shrine. The commander-in-chief of the naval forces of three provinces Admiral Yi -Sun-sin installed the headquarters at Hansando and built a building, Unjudang on the present site of Jeseungdang Shrine. Unju is like a war status controlling facility meaning ‘Setting all plans’. 100 years after the war is over the place was reconstructed and named as Jeseungdang. There is water well on the way to Jeseungdang and the spot is easy to miss. This is the water well where Admiral Yi Sun-sin and his navy force used to drink water from. Of course the water is still drinkable. The water taste so sweet even the sea water is right next to it. On the back of Jeseungdang is an archery range. It is one and only kind in Korea next to sea. This range was put together so that the navy could practice archery from one ship to another ship. We suggest you to make a feint of pulling the archery even if you are not actually handling archery. You can see a shrine that enshrines admiral Yi Sun-sin when you exit from the archery range. There is a water clock where Yi -Sun-sin chanted Korean poems. Chant some of your favor poems while appreciating the sea at Hansando.
