Best spots to see the stunning night view
The history of this fortress wall dates back to the Joseon Dynasty and the Unified Silla. Due to its historical and cultural significance, the site is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It features defense facilities, four gates on the east, west, north, and south sides, and the remnants of the Hwagung Palace, which served as a temporary residence for kings. All year round, the view is magnificent, but in the fall, when the red leaves complement the castle, it is particularly striking. It's a great place to trek because of the trails that wind along the ramparts and the ancient paths that our ancestors once took. It's also well-known for its illuminated night view and panoramic views of the city beyond the ramparts.
