Walking on the fortress wall of Nakaneupseong in Suncheon, Korea

in travel •  7 years ago 

I’d like to visit the fortress village Nakaneupseong in Suncheon, the southern area in Korea.
Occasionally I had been there when I have had a chance to visit Suncheon Area.

When I arrived at Nakaneupseong, it was afternoon.
It rained the day before. Fog still embraced whole mountains and the fortress village.
The atmosphere was dreamlike.

Nakaneupseong is a village in the fortress wall to prevent the assault from Japanese pirates in Choson dynasty.

Interesting thing is people is still living there not like other fortress wall village.
People of the village is working for tourism in many cases.
The local government helps financial aids for maintaining their houses, so people can sustain their living style in the fortress wall.

As soon as arriving there, I began to walk along the wall.

The wall was so beautiful and very well preserved.
The water hazard was well preserved.

There were stone animals in front of the main gate.

It looked like dogs. I thought they made dogs for barking when the enemy got closer to the fortress wall, believe it or not.

The wall was wide enough to walk on the top of the wall.

I took the photos of people walking on the wall. The scenery looked really romantic.

I like south Korean the way they preserve their history and culture they gave much importance to remember by the new generation and they won't forget where they come from.

I must to come by here once more to take the photos of people walking in the dusk.

When you said that seem like you enjoyed your trip over there and the environment are pretty good.

These are really amazing to look at these beautiful place. It looks so much serene and calm place.

South Korea's a very beautiful place, if only the friends up North would be as willing to let economic growth spur in the country (of course that won't happen anytime soon). It's an incredible place and the cities are so bustling. Right next to Japan on the bucketlist, and maybe Singapore!

I hope so.

Yes, it was so romantic place

very stunning a village, looks still very natural, nice scenery.

A great travel photography. It nice to visit your place

Very beautiful natural photos and we'll explain

How interesting to see such authentic village surrounded by the modern civilization. You managed to present its beauty with the full meaning of the word. Your photos are lovely, but the first one looks like from some magazine cover. The bright village in the front, and dark mountains with the clouds above them in the back. Really well done!

Thank you so much

In reality, it is impressively lovely place. The soul of times long past and the extraordinary appeal of nature. This together makes a delightful picture. This place you need to visit, stroll on the divider, thinking about the environment. this is an awesome answer for pull in tourism, on the grounds that the climate of this town is exceptionally charming, even through photographs. I think I feel this cool and outside quality of these spots. A debt of gratitude is in order for the walk...

Thank you so much

On a wall and I would have walked )) Thanks for telling about it!

Very nice

Really beautiful palace

Hoping I can visit this place as well, this place is awesome!!! nice scenery, even weather is great. OMG...

낙안읍성 다녀오셨군요 저도 몇일전에 다녀왔는데
불행히도 사진을 찍지 못 했습니다 ㅠ
낙안읍성이 어릴때 갔을때와 점점 눈에 띄게 발전 했습니다. 물론 초가집은 그대로를 유지 하고 있지만요 ㅎ
다 좋은여기는 그늘이 없어서 너무 아쉽습니다 ㅎ

그렇군요

It is peaceful here, Come back and take more pictures

good post and very useful for us, reward from this comment we will forward to charity and for those who need ... thanks for the help @ mawarlinda

@upvoted

Incredible mountain landscape. Very foggy and this is looking great, well captured @ slowwalker

It's great for me to have a great photography. I liked these pictures very well, especially the pictures of the pictures, look like many beautiful houses, like a sloping room, but they are very nice to see.Are you a professional photographer?

Your pictures are always wonderful and make me travel with you. Thank you @slowwalker

Wonderful landscape ,Really very interesting place for tour

description of a very interesting and travel menyenangkan.korea is beautiful and great. I really like and will share with friends

Good photos and beautiful scenery.

Thank you for sharing the information and photographs about such historical place @slowwalker.

That is a real national treasure and I have seen a documentary about it where it has been told that general Kim Bin-gil, a native of Nagan, built up the town's fortress walls with mud and earthen works, but years later it was expanded and rebuild with stones. When I watched that fortress wall it reminded me many fortresses here in Europe, many of them made of stones and there is a moat or a ditch in front of such fortresses also to make it difficult to those who would like to conquer the place.

The weather on your photographs reminds me much like now in Scotland, but I believe the temperature must be much warmer than here, we have if we are lucky 13-15 above zero.

Cheers and have a nice weekend, @Stef1

Thank you for your comment.
I've never been in Scotland. All I know about Scotland is from the films.
One day, I 'd like to drop by Scotland
Have a nice weekend

I love the history in general but Scottish one fascinated me, if you are interested there is a DVD “a History of Scotland, by Neil Oliver” there is everything from ancient time till modern.
Depending on what you like I could advice:

  1. Edinburgh, of course, because it is a capital with many ancient buildings, good restaurants, also not far from there is a place also “must” for people who interested in history, it is Rosslyn Chapel only 30 min away from Edinburgh, famous because of Dan Brown’s “Da Vinci Code”. The best time August, it is a months of festival almost the whole month, ends up with Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, where you can see the Scots with pipers and drums on on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle
  2. If you are interested in Whisky and distillery, there are special tours for that too, they are mostly on western coast.
  3. If you are interested in Archeology, Vikings then definitely Shetland Island, there is “Up Helly Aa” festival but it is in January.
    Sorry for long comment, Wish you a nice week, Cheers, @Stef1

Great scenery with a dive into what the world was before now.

read your post and look at the wall, i think to The Great Wall of China, it's have same design and function but only different about dimension =))

journey of life full of fun and excitement in life @slowwalker

@slowwalker, I can not say anything, the charm of nature there is very beautiful, the building is very neat.😍

Really beautiful area. Some day I would love to visit places like this. Very mysterious with the overcast and very enchanting. Thank you @slowwalker. Btw, how long is the Wall ?? And I really love that shot with the people walking across the land and their partial reflection in the water with the background of the clouds ;)

Great photos :)

@slowwalker! Without comment!!! I would have never expected there could be such an old/ancient architecture in Korea! I am kind of speechless.

Woow! Thank you!

Location is wonderful thank you for sharing

My father's hometown is Seung-Joo near Soon-Cheon.
My aunt lives in Gwang-Kwang, near Soon-Cheon.

Reading your posting, I decided to go there.
Wonderful ~ ^^ Thanks for your posting.

Thank you for the amazing excursion to the wall. All photos are wonderful.

I like it... world class post.. beautiful.

언젠가는 꼭 가보고 싶은 곳이라 리스팀 합니다.
사진인지 수채화인지 인상깊습니다.

Wow. This wall reminds me of those Chinese movies I have watched. It really amazing to see they still preserve these. These show the wall was built with sweat to last this long. This is beautiful

Thank you so much

wonderful historical and classic building. Love the nature and beauty,,,
and also thanks for shareing...

영화속의 한장면을 보는듯 합니다
주민이 살고 있당하니 더욱 신비로운 느낌이 드는 아름다운 마을입니다

요즘은 슬로우워커님 글만 읽고 그냥 가곤 했답니다
왠지 어렵고 그렇습니다
다른계정의 글도 읽고 망설이다
지나치곤 합니다
편하게 다가가고 싶은데 왜 어려운지 모르겠어요 ㅠ

편한시간 되시길요^^

ㅎㅎㅎ

Indeed, it is fabulously beautiful place. The spirit of antiquity and the incredible charm of nature. All this together creates a delightful picture. This place you want to visit, walk on the wall, considering the surroundings. this is a great solution to attract tourism, because the atmosphere of this village is very pleasant, even through photos. I think I feel this cool and fresh air of these places. Thanks for the walk)

Thank you for your comment

Thank you for transporting me briefly to somewhere I'll probably never make it to @slowwalker.

Really a beautiful place !! Incredible shot .korea <3

lol

It's been a few decades (!) since my time in Korea. Keep saying I'll make it back some day, but who knows when. I know a lot has changed since then, but these photos show that many things about Korea are timeless.

Very nice

yes, I feel I have to go back to that place to take some photos that make you curious. people who are walking at dusk and seeing happy families are all around you @slowwalker.

Thank you
