The appoximate location of Gaekgi river dock 객기 나루터 by the Nakdong river and a Buddhist temple, Musimsa 무심사 in the middle of the hill on the other side of the river. This river dock had been one of the nodes within transportation and logistics networks along the Nakdong river since the ancient times. Historically, the Japanese army landed here and pushed on towards Goryeong during the Japanese invasion by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1592. Until the early 1990's, this river dock is said to have been used, but now can't find any trace of the dock after the construction of new riverbanks altered the waterway.
