Information Introduction Guam Park is located in the area around Heogabawi Rock, a natural rock cave beneath Tapsan Mountain
It is said that Heo Seon-mun, the forefather of the Yangcheon Heo clan, was born here
The park was built to commemorate Heo Jun who is widely known as a saintly physician
Guam is his penname
It is said that after retirement, Heo Jun came to Heogabawi Rock to compile the famous medical book Dongui Bogam
A part of the Hangang River here was turned into a lake due to the construction of the Olympic Expressway and high-rise apartments surrounding the park
There is a statue of Heo Jun treating a patient and in the lake, there is a purple-colored rock with holes called Gwangju Rock
Before the construction of the Yanghwadaegyo Bridge, this area used to be where visitors would take a ferry (Gongam Ferry) to cross the other side
Heogabawi Rock, which is wide enough to accommodate about 20 men, is said to be where people took refuge there during wars, including the Imjin Waeran War, Byeongja Horan War, and the Korean War
Gwangju Rock and Heogabawi Rock is the site of Jechapaeui (the rock where rituals were offered to the God of the Earth and the God of Crops during the Hanseong Baekje period)
This was also the first historical name given to this area
