Haengjusanseong (Haengju Fortress)

A very meaningful mountain to visit, which has lots of historical figures and explanations along the path for visitors to slowly walk up while enjoying a part of history of South Korea

The mountain is beautiful and beautifully decorated with the historical figures and wordings, but it is very crowded despite the place being out of nowhere. And there is no public transportation available to get to this Haengju Sanseong mountain. So you can't come here without a private car, which makes it quite inaccessible to foreigners

Beatiful place, very nice hike and an interesting historically site. Loved it

Must go place where you can see magnificent views of Han river and Seoul.

Nice Hiking course you may sweat a bit

There was a light festival which was interesting. The last day of that festival was 14th of May.

Be prepared for a good hike on a very steep mountain. The view at the top is amazing even on a very polluted day 😅😅😅

A historically great place just at the outskirts of Seoul to visit. The mountain peak overlooks the beautiful scenery of the hangang (lake) and west-Seoul (Gandseo).

Haemgjusanseong fortress is a historical place Korea defeated Japan then Korean women did a important role to defend.

Beautiful place. Well signed to explain the history.

This was an old defense base. I recommend the detour walker way that takes 30 minutes.

It's Autumn in South Korea. Falling leaves and beautiful sight seeing!!

Here is historical place that Im proud of Korean.

This is a nice spot to spend two or three hours. There is some interesting history, good views of the river and surrounding countryside, and undemanding walks through natural surroundings. It seems to be connected with local hiking and biking paths. There is a convenience store right outside the entrance with shaded outdoor tables--good for a snack.

I visited this place a couple of times when I was a freshman in college and want to visit here again one of these days. Has a great view and proud history. A nostalgic place for me

My first visit ~ amazing view!!

Absolutely stunning place. Worth the walk to the top as such lovely views. Try a coffee at the Rose Garden on the way back down. Really cheap to get in, 2018 prices are 1000 won each about 80p. A little gem of a place.

It's beautiful because night view of Seoul is great! and Tour guide was very kind. History of General Kwon-yul was impressive. General Kwon with normal citizen despite of small number of people defeted the enemy from Japan.

Great 360 view from the top.
And it's free.

Spend a couple of hours touring this historic site. Nice views. Easy hike. Lots to think about.
