About 2 km (1 1/4 miles) southwest of Jeondeung-sa lies the small town of Sangbangni and the site of Dangun's Altar on nearby Manisan It is an arduous climb of almost 500 meters (1650 ft) up to the summit, where one can get a sweeping view of Ganghwa-do and touch the spot where an important Korean legend was born. Some archaeologists claim Dangun's altar is no more than 400 years old, which would date it considerably younger than Dangun who, according to popular myths, descended to earth from heaven in 2333BC.
