Experience history and enjoy Han River night views... Goyang City opens Haengjusanseong Fortress at night until October

Goyang City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 3rd that it will open Haengju Fortress for night visits on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, starting from the 14th through October.

Haengju Fortress is the historic site of the Battle of Haengju during the Japanese Invasions of Korea in 1592. The earthen fortress encircles Deokyang Mountain and spans approximately 1 kilometer in circumference. Visitors who ascend from Daecheop Gate through Chungjangsa Shrine and Deokyang Pavilion to the Haengju Victory Monument at the summit can enjoy panoramic views of the Han River at night.

Parking is available at the first and second parking lots. Parking is free for visitors entering after 6 p.m. during night opening hours. However, night openings may be canceled due to adverse weather conditions such as monsoon rains or typhoons. Visitors are advised to call ahead to confirm during rainy weather.

A Goyang City official said, "Through this night opening program, we hope many citizens will create lasting memories enjoying the sunset over the Han River and the night views of Haengju Fortress," adding, "We will continue our efforts to promote the historical value and appeal of Goyang City's attractions."
