Gochang Eupseong (Moyangseong Fortress) photo

Gochang Eupseong (Moyangseong Fortress) is a Joseon-era fortress with its walls still relatively intact. The path along the perimeter is well maintained, so a full loop is manageable.

From the fortress wall, you can look down over the town and surrounding fields, and restored government-office buildings stand inside. It is also known for the local custom of walking around the fortress with a stone balanced on your head.

Useful tips
