The legend about 'Seobul' starts with the
name inscribed on the cliff of the Jeonbang waterfall. Seobul,
who was an envoy of Chin, the powerful emperor of China, came to
Mt. Youngju, one of the three holy montains with the elixir of
eternal life, looking for one for emperor Chin's immortal life
with the huge delegation of 500 men and women. After Seobul
anchored his ship in the shore of the Jeonbang waterfall, he
climbed Mt. Yonggju, found the elixir of the life, and returned
to the west. As he returned, he inscripted 'Seolbulgwaji' on the
cliff of the Jeongbang waterfall, from which 'seogwipo' the name
of this city was derived. Seobok Exhibition is the place where
the data about this legend are collected and exhibited.
