Cheongdo Seokbinggo

청도 석빙고

A roofless Joseon stone ice store built in 1713 and protected as a national Treasure, preserving four arched ribs, a sloped floor and its construction inscription; it is an outdoor archaeological stop rather than an enterable cold room, so remain behind barriers and protect every stone.

    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Navigate to the heritage site beside the fortress

      Use Cheongdo Seokbinggo and the official Dongcheon-ri 285 locality rather than searching for a modern ice room. It is an outdoor archaeological structure near Cheongdo Eupseong.

    2. 02
      Read the arches without entering

      The surviving ribs, sloped floor and construction inscription explain the 1713 ice store. Remain on the visitor side of every barrier and do not descend into the chamber.

    3. 03
      Protect the Treasure and its setting

      Do not touch, climb, sit on, rub, move or place equipment on any stone. Yield to conservation work and keep the nearby fortress route on signed public surfaces.

      Read the arches without entering

      Protect the Treasure and its setting

      Do not touch, climb, sit on, rub, move or place equipment on any stone. Yield to conservation work and keep the nearby fortress route on signed public surfaces.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Read the official heritage description before the short outdoor stop because there is no reconstructed interior.
    • Use the public edge for photographs and keep every body, bag and tripod off the structure.
    • Pair it with Cheongdo Eupseong while preserving separate pins and heritage rules for each site.
    • Search “청도 석빙고 경상북도 청도군 화양읍 동천리 285” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
    • The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
