Several years ago, a popular spot for bicyclists to stop on the south side of the Han River was just under Haengju Bridge. Here the large number of riders could replenish their energy with food and drink from the nearby convenience store; air up their tires; and chat and smoke (for some reason a lot of cyclists seem to smoke) while looking out at the beauty of the river. Many, however, were probably unaware that just a short distance away (perhaps a hundred meters) and hidden by trees and overgrowth was a magical spot - a monument dedicated to two long-dead brothers who resisted the temptation of gold.
