Saseon Village Cairn - Saseon, Korea - Cairns on Waymarking.com

This is somewhat of an unusual placement for this cairn as it is strictly not at the entrance to the village, which is the common placement for these. Although it is unmarked in any way, it may actually be associated with the tourist "Chestnut Village" which is directly across the stream from this cairn. It is, in fact, located on the edge of a paved highway (Route 618) in the bus stop area for "Chestnut Village." The other side of the highway is all chestnut orchards.

The cairn is approximately 2m high and about 1.5m in diameter at the base. It is made of local rocks, using no cement or mortar.

There are many acres of chestnut farms along this little stream near the city of Gongju, Korea. This area accounts for about 12% of the chestnut production in the country. There is an annual Chestnut Festival here in the fall.

This tourist oriented place offers chestnut picking in the fall, and there is lodging here as well. There is a waterwheel located at the end of this pedestrian suspension bridge that crosses a small stream connecting the village to the main road, although there is also road access. The waterwheel is situated in a small pond where the water then runs down into the natural stream.
