It was nice to take a walk to the place where Nakhwaam Rock is located.

I went on a weekday. As its name suggests, it requires a bit of hiking. The hiking trail is well-maintained, so walking is not inconvenient. You could go straight to Nakhwaam Rock, but it was nice to turn toward Yeongilru and climb up Banwolru to rest. The cool breeze blew, the scenery was nice, and it was nice to be able to cool off. You can also get a national heritage visit stamp, and they will give you a stamp if you ask at the ticket office.

Every place in Busosanseong Fortress was really nice. Taking a walk while enjoying the beautiful greenery of well-maintained and well-grown trees can be a healing time to wash away the dizziness of everyday life. In addition, newly discovered Baekje ruins are being excavated throughout the interior of Busosanseong Fortress, confirming that it is a historically significant place.I heard that there was Nakhwaam within Busosanseong Fortress, so I went there to visit it. The spectacular view from Nakhwaam was so beautiful, unlike its heartbreaking origins.(In addition, I felt grateful to the management organization because I thought Busosanseong Fortress was being managed really well.)

Parking is free, and admission is free for Buyeo residents and 2,000 won for adults from out of town.When the person in front of me walked in, he just said "I'm from Buyeo" and went in, so I almost became a citizen of Buyeo for a moment, but I paid the entrance fee of 2,000 won and went in.There are various attractions within Busosanseong Fortress, including Nakhwaam Rock, Goransa Temple, Sajaru Temple, and Samchungsa Temple.The path is well paved with stones and has a gentle slope, making it good for walking. There are shops along the way, so it's nice to take a break.Nakhwaam Rock, famous for the Three Thousand Palace Ladies, is the main spot and the scenery is quite nice. You can also see a pleasure boat that looks like a bus on the river.If you go further down from Nakhwaam, there is Goransa Temple and a dock. The boat costs 6,000 won per adult, which is not too expensive.Overall, I was satisfied, and I plan to take a boat ride next time I come.
