Hangju Fortress Historical park
Hangju Fortress historical park is located near Han River at Hangjuui-dong, Deokyang-gu, in Goyang-si. This place was originally used to prevent invasion from armed soldiers from North Korea in the 1970s with barbed-wire fence. In addition, military army resided near the park and Sijung training center. Afterwards, business for demolishing the areas was proceeded in 2010 that the current Hangju Fortress historical park was built. There are memorial stones of historical figures in Goyang including Chugang, Hyoon Nam, Seokju, Pil Kwon, and Seoktan Siui Lee in the historical park along with the barbed-wire fences and messages for the peace and Sijung training center. In addition, there are many types of plants, observatory of Han River, Korean anchovy ships, and statement by the independence fighter, Changho Ahn, in the Waterside Park towards Han River. Hangju Fortress historical park has been constructed in reference to the 杏湖觀漁圖 drawn by Gyumjae Jungsun as an artist in the late Joseon Dynasty in 1741.
