Freshwater fish caught in the Geum River vary by season but mainly include carp, catfish, freshwater crabs, pike, and bagasari. Twenty years ago, this place was a tavern serving makgeolli and bagasari spicy fish stew, which was so delicious that word spread and it became a specialized spicy fish stew restaurant. Nowadays, since pike and bagasari are rare, the spicy fish stew is mainly made with freshwater crabs and catfish, boiled with a variety of seasonings including crown daisy, shepherd's purse, and water parsley. Its handmade flavors and 36 years of seasoned skill have made it widely known.

Gongsanseong Fortress is a representative fortress of the Baekje period and was the mountain fortress protecting Gongju when it was the capital of Baekje. It served as the Baekje capital until the 16th year of King Seong of Baekje (538) when the capital was moved to Buyeo, and afterward was a regional administrative center until the Joseon Dynasty, making it a historically significant site. It is a valley-enclosed fortification (pogokhyeong 산성) located on a hill by the Geumgang River, originally built as an earthen fortress, later reconstructed as a stone fortress in the Joseon period. The exact construction date is unknown. In Baekje, it was called Ungjinseong, during Goryeo Gongjusanseong or Gongsanseong, and after King Injo fled there during Yi Gwal's Rebellion (1623) in Joseon, it was called Ssangsusanseong. After Baekje's fall, King Uija stayed briefly, and it was a base for Baekje restoration movements. During Unified Silla, Kim Heon-chang's Rebellion (822) took place here. The fortress is roughly rectangular, about 800m east-west and 400m north-south. Gate sites are confirmed on all sides; the south gate Jinnamru and north gate Gongbukru remain. The east and west gates only had sites remaining; in 993, Yeongdongru was restored at the east gate site and Geumseoru at the west gate site. Defensive facilities such as secret gates, citadels, ancient towers, watchtowers, and water gates remain. Inside are Ssangsujeong Pavilion, Yeongeunsa Temple, Yeonji Pond, Imryugak Site, and Manharu Site. Numerous relics including lotus-patterned roof tiles, Baekje roof tiles, pottery, and artifacts from Goryeo and Joseon periods have been excavated. Walking along the fortress wall offers panoramic views of Gongju city. During the Baekje Cultural Festival, a floating bridge connects from Gongsanseong to Geumgang Shingwan Park. At Geumseoru, one can witness the dignity of the Baekje Kingdom in the ‘Ungjin Fortress Water Gate Guard Duty Change Ceremony,’ and the night view at Geumgang Shingwan Park allows beautiful appreciation of Gongsanseong Fortress.
