Geocache Description:


General Lee's Grave

Namhae Island was the last battle field of Jungyujaeran (name for a war against Japan) where General Lee died after defeating the Japanese invaders. A memorial building named Chunglyolsa was built here to enshrine his memorial tablet. It has become a highly historical and educational place to visit. In the spring the numerous cherry trees on the street are in full bloom as you approach Namhae Bridge. The bridge is a 60 meter long, 80 meter high, and 12 meter wide suspension bridge connecting Namhae Island to the mainland.

*Tour Tip*
The best time to see Namhae Bridge and Chunglyolsa (General Lee's Memorial Building) is from April 1st to the 15th when the cherry blossom festival expresses the unique culture of Namhae. From the town of Noryang you can also take a ferry boat ride on the Dadohae (Dado Sea).

관음포 앞바다 해안에 위치한 이곳은 이충무공의 영구를 맨 먼저 육지에 안치했던 곳이다. 공이 순국한지 234년 후인 1832년(순조32)에 공의 8대손 이항권이 왕명에 의해 단을 모아 제사하고 비와 비각을 세워 이락사라 칭하였다. 대성운해(大星殞海, 큰 별이 바다에 떨어지다)라는 편액이 붙은 이충무공 묘비각 안에는 홍문관 대제학 홍석주가 비문을 짓고 형조판서, 예문관 제학 이익회가 쓴 유허비가 있다.(일명 이락사, 사적 제232호)
