Hwajisan Mountain (a hill 10-48m above sea level) is located east of Gungnamji Pond, Buyeo (Historical Site No. 135) and is known to be the site of Manghaejeong Pavilion, a Baekje detached palace. When Chungnam National University Museum excavated the site in 1986, a large number of tile fragments and the cornerstones of building sites were found. In a further excavation carried out by the Buyeo National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage from May to August 2000, many diverse relics and architectural remains such as building sites, tombs, and wooden fences were found whose dates span the Baekje Dynasty up to the Joseon Dynasty. The site revealed archaeological features including 5 building sites, 11 stone-lined tombs, 18 pit tombs, and stone embankments as well as 50 relics, suggesting that the area continued to be used as a dwelling site or a tomb site from the Baekje Dynasty onward.
