Front Gate of Bukhansanseong Fortress Where King Sukjong Visited, Daeseomun
King Sukjong passed Seodaemun Gate, Uiju-daero to enter Daeseomun.
The past record says that surroundings of Daeseomun was very rough. Now a day, however, there are roads inside Daeseomun and it is easy to climb up the mountain with car.
In the past, the roads were a narrow path where residents of Bukhansanseong Fortress would use on their way to sell woods.
In 1958, the gatehouse of Daeseomun was restored and president Syngman Rhee visited the place.
Before the visit of president, govorner of Gyeonggi-do borrowed bulldozer from US base and paved the narrow path into bigger road.
The handwriting on the board of Daeseomun is written by president Syngman Rhee when he visited Daeseomun.
Around Daeseomun, there are many apricot trees and persimmon trees.
In the past, the residents around Daeseomun planted apricot tress and persimmon trees on the slope that could not be used as the paddy or farm.
The fruit trees are densely planted along the slopes until Hachang-Ji.
On the way to Hachang-Ji, you will see traces of farm and houses.
When you take a close look at the traces of emhankment, wall, and fenses, you will occasionally find cherry trees.
It is said that there were a lot of cherry trees when there was a town in the past.
It is said that cherry flowers were all over the town during the spring season and the scenery was beautiful even from the distance. The cherry trees, however, are now gone with people and they are rarely seen.
