It is located next to the Han River, and Deogyang Mountain rises high, so we can see Bukhan Mountain, Gwanak Mountain and Seomak Mountain.

At the summit, the Memorial Stone for Great Victory of Haengju enscripted by Han Seok-bong, is also designated as cultural asset.

There are pavilions, chairs, relics exhibition hall, and earthen fortresses in various places, making it famous for cultural heritage that are harmonized with the nature.

There are lots of interesting stories such as Haengju skirts, Gneral Stone, and the anchovy story.

At the time of the Japanese Invasion of 1592, there were various high-tech weapons such as large magical-machine arrows, freight cars, narrow guns, etc.

With these weapons, our small army was able to defeat the Japanese forces that was 10 times greater in number.

Goyang City has been carrying out Haengju Cultural Festival and Celebrations of Haengju Victory in order to commemorate the proud victory.

Take a look around Haengju Mountain Fortress during the times of activities such as ceremony, a festival, or a night opening.
