"Haeparang Trail Course 46 runs from the Jangsa Fishing Village to Sampo Beach. The starting area around Jangsa Port and Yeongnangho Lake was originally open sea. Over long centuries, sand accumulated along the shore until Yeongnangho was sealed off as a lake, and a village took root on the new sandbar. The place was once called ""Moraegi,"" meaning ""sandy ground,"" and was later written in Sino-Korean as ""Sayaji"", eventually becoming ""Sajin-ri."" In 1973, when the area was incorporated into Sokcho City, it was combined with Jangcheon-ri to form Jangsa-dong. The harbor, originally known as Sajin Port, was renamed Jangsa Port in 2008. Heading north from Jangsa Port brings you to Bongpo Port. Just beyond its breakwater lies a small cluster of rocks, including one stone that has been gradually rolled and rounded by the waves over time, ground between the surrounding rocks like a millstone. Locals call it “Maetdolbawi,” ""Millstone Rock,"" and on stormy days, they say you can sometimes hear a low grinding sound, as though the millstone is still slowly turning. Past Cheonjin Port, Cheongganjeong Pavilion comes into view. Long regarded as the finest of the Eight Scenic Views of the Gwandong region, this pavilion has drawn poets and painters in unbroken succession for centuries. The pavilion once held a collection of writings by some of Korea's greatest figures, including calligraphy by the renowned Yang Sa-eon, prose by Jeong Cheol, and a royal poem composed by King Sukjong of Joseon. All of these were lost in 1884 when fire spread to the pavilion during the upheaval of the Gabshin Coup. For more than forty years afterward, the site lay empty, until the pavilion was finally rebuilt in 1928. The wooden plaque reading ""Cheongganjeong"" that now hangs beneath its eaves bears the personal calligraphy of former president Rhee Syngman. The great Joseon-era landscape painter Gyeomjae Jeong Seon also left behind a painting of this pavilion, ""Cheongganjeong-do."" Yet the pavilion in his painting differs in both location and form from the one that stands today. In the old painting, the pavilion is shown high atop a rocky outcrop rising sharply from the sea, suggesting that both the site and the surrounding landscape have shifted with the passage of time. Above Cheongganjeong lies Ayajin Port. The name “Ayajin” was once written as “Daeyajin.” During the Japanese colonial period, however, when the use of the character “Dae,” ""great,"" was restricted by the colonial government, the name was changed to Ayajin. A short climb over a hill from Ayajin brings you to Gyoam Port, known throughout Gangwon-do for its abundant catches of herring. Just at the entrance to the village stands Cheonhakjeong Pavilion. If Cheongganjeong's fame comes from its long history, Cheonhakjeong's comes from the sheer beauty of its setting. Built in 1931 through the joint efforts of local notables, the small pavilion stands alone at the tip of a sheer coastal cliff, encircled by pine trees more than a century old, facing out to sea. From the pavilion, you can look south and just make out Cheongganjeong and Baekdo Island in the distance, while to the north, the rugged rock coastline around Neungpadae unfolds before you. Across from Cheonhakjeong, beyond Munam Port, lies Neungpadae. The characters ""Neungpadae,"" carved into the rock here, are believed to be the personal calligraphy of Yang Sa-eon, also known by his pen name Bongnae, one of the greatest masters of calligraphy in the Joseon Dynasty. The honeycomb-like surface, pocked with countless small hollows, is a geological formation known as tafoni, said to have formed over an astonishing 180 million years. The site was designated as part of the Gangwon Peace National Geopark in 2014. In 2020, when BTS filmed scenes for their photoshoot video ""2021 Winter Package"" here, Neungpadae was introduced to fans around the world. Munamcheon Stream, flowing alongside Neungpadae, carries within it the long memory of this coast. On the low hills near the stream, Neolithic remains dating from roughly 5,000 to 3,000 BCE have been excavated, including some of the earliest traces of farming ever found along Korea's east coast. Past Baekdo Port, the trail at last reaches Sampo Beach, the end of this course. Opened in 1977 and designated a National Tourist Site in 1980, the beach is famous for its ""singing sand,"" which gives off a soft, musical sound when stepped on. Just offshore lie the small islets of Heukdo, Baekdo, and Homiseom, scattered across the water, while behind the beach stretches a dense pine forest. "
