[2025 Seongnam Attraction] Travel Guide for Namhansanseong South Gate (Updated May)

#HawaiiAirlineEvent The south gate of Namhansanseong is called Jihwamun. The name 'Jihwamun' was given in the third year of King Jeongjo's reign during the restoration of Namhansanseong, and means 'extreme harmony'. Located within Namhansanseong Provincial Park, it is accessible by foot or car, and the fortress wall road from Jihwamun to Dongmun (left gate) is about 2.5km long, making it a popular course for walking or hiking. It is a place where you can feel both historical importance and architectural beauty, and is recommended for visitors who want to enjoy history and nature together.

The Namhansanseong Fortress Wall and South Gate are representative heritage sites that showcase the military strategies and architectural techniques of the Joseon Dynasty. The South Gate, in particular, serves as the central structure of the fortress and holds historical significance. It is a popular attraction and the largest and most grandiose of the four main gates of Namhansanseong. Renovated in the 3rd year of King Jeongjo's reign (1779), it was adorned with a plaque reading 'Jihwamun.' Currently, it is the only gate among the four main gates that still retains its plaque. This site is a valuable place where visitors can experience both history and nature simultaneously. 👍
