Introduction

As the source of the Nakdong River, it is located in the city center, where the water springing from this pond flows majestically through the vast Yeongnam Plain. The pond is divided into Sangji, Jungji, and Haji, with a circumference of 100m, and about 5,000 tons of water emerge daily, which has also been used as a source for tap water. According to legend, the land where the Hwang family once lived turned into the pond after they gave manure to an old monk requesting alms instead of money, causing the earth to shake. This place is also one of Korea's top 100 famous waters.
