Nam Han San Seong Fortress is located on the southern area from Seoul metropolitan.
The walls were constructed along the ridges of the mountain.
While my colleagues were photographing wild flowers, I looked around the fortress. The Nam Han San Seng fortress was a stage of the war with Qing dynasty. The King of Qing dynasty attacked Choson dynasty to remove the backward threat before conquering Ming dynasty.
Interesting thing was the founder of Choson dynasty, Lee Seong Gyeo, had had a close relationship with Manchurians. In the process of building Choson dynasty, many Manchurian generals had participated in building dynasty.
In 1636-1637 AD, the Royal family and the government moved to the Nam Han San Seong fortress to fight against the Qing dynasty. But due to the short of the foods, Choson dynasty surrendered.
There are many buildings relating to the War with Qing dynasty. But I could not go to see those facilities because of my colleagues. So I photographed near the area where they took photos of wild flowers.
The gate and the walls
The pond and the pines in the fortress
And one shot at the valley.
I'd like to visit this fortress once more alone to look around more in detail.
