This is the "Presidential Retreat" built on the shores of a hydro lake near Daejeon. It was built in the 1980s by the military dictator who was responsible for the Gwangju massacre of protesters. In order to create this retreat 30 or so villages were destroyed and 5800 people displaced. It covers a very large area and includes a golf course and fish farm. In 2003 it was given to the people of Corea and opened to the public. It's still used by the government as a retreat but in a more modest way. It's surrounded by huge fences, bunkers and has large barracks for soldiers, police and security forces.
