Doksanbongsu site connecting Joseon
Doksanbongsu is well preserved on top of a hill on the altitude of 133.4m from the sea water level as a boundary of Munbong-dong in Ilsandong-gu, Sarihyeon-dong, and Jiyoung-dong in Goyang-si. The period when Doksanbongsu was established was assumed to be with Bongsuje in the beginning of Koryo or before that according to the record of its name as Bonghwamyeong in [Sejongsilokjiriji]. Doksanbongsu is maintained with consistent shape on the northern line with Sungsan in Paju to the north and Moak->Haepo->Anhyeon to the east. On the other hand, there are many fluctuations to the east. View is spanning through all the directions that it faces Gobongbongsu to the west. It was specifically built considering geographical conditions of stone work Bongsudaero. Donksanbongsu is accessible with vehicle from the three intersection to water reservoir through the Gobong civic center. If you climb up about 5 minutes after parking in front of water reservoir, you can reach Doksanbongsu site that is used as military helicopter area. It is still possible to see the view spanning through the northern area, and stoneworks near Bongdon and Bonghwa are also well-preserved relics in Bongsu.
