Name origin
The name "Sin-dang-dong" came from an ancient village with a shrine for worshipping gods, which was connected to the place of worship. "Heung-in-dong," situated west of Dasan Road, got its name from "Heung-in Ji-mun" in Dongdaemun. As for "Mu-hak-dong," found southwest of the Sin-dang-dong intersection, it derived its name from Mt. Mu-hak-bong (92m) south of the Korea Road Traffic Authority, with a legend that a crane descended and danced on the mountain.
Attractions
The neighbourhood is near Sindang Station and is approximately two blocks from exit 8. It is a popular shopping area with a variety of food markets, and eateries that specialise in Korean snacks such as Ddeokbokki.[3] It is known to Koreans for its Ddeokbokki Town.[citation needed]
A former home of South Korean president Park Chung Hee is located in the neighborhood and is open to public visitation.[4]
