Path in the old hometown, Hangjunaru

This is the ferry where boatman rows on the ship and takes passengers across the river with wooden ship when they are called from the other side of the river. This is a reminiscent story, right? When there was no bridge in Han River, there were people going across the river to shop, housewives going to their home, and those who were about to enjoy boating. Ferry is relevant to bus terminal today. This place was always crowded full of foods to eat and scenes to watch. As Hangju bridge was constructed in 1978, ferry no longer existed. However, there are still many restaurants in old style that people tend to come to enjoy traditional food.

Transportation path towards Seoul, Stone bridge in Gangmae-dong

There is Gangmae Station of Gyeongui Line to the end of the east at Haengshin district that was developed as a new city. To the south of Gangmae Station, there is a way to the direction of Bongdae Mountain. There is bank if you enter the lower area of Bongdae Mountain. If you go about 50m along the un-paved road to the opposite direction of Hangju Fortress on top of this bank, there is a bridge. This is the stone bridge at Gangmae-dong. This has been a bridge used as a tranporttation path for people from the west to go to Seoul at Han River including Ilsan, Jido, and Songpog of Goyang in the past. The basic structure of the bridge is that the frame was built with 18 stone pillars with rectangle Gopanseoks on top of them. There are two rows of Gyopanseoks with 6-7 stones between the piers. As for overall image of the bridge, the bridge is connected from the South to the North. Due to the middle part that is higher than the both sides, it is in a shape of curve. According to [Goyang-gun Log] issued in 1755 on annals in Youngjo, it was called as Haepo bridge in the past. It was also known to be made with woods. Records as a stone bridge are that it was 江梅里橋庚申新造 enscribed on the side of a bridge. This shows that the bridge was constructed in the 1920s. Stone bridge in Gangmae-dong is accessible through Soman village in Haengshin-dong and Ganggosan village at Gangmae-dong. Bridge is well preserved with original shape in the Joseon Dynasty. Seeing as how it is the one and only traditional bridge, it is valuable as cultural asset.
