Haengju Fortress is a mountaintop-style fortress built on the 7th and 8th ridges of Deogyang Mountain in Haengjunae-dong, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. It is an earth-built mountain fortress. The fortress has a double structure consisting of a small inner fortress encircling the summit of Deogyang Mountain and an outer fortress surrounding the valley extending northward. It uses steep cliffs along the riverbank and encloses the wide plains spreading east, north, and west. Pottery shards from the Three Kingdoms period, such as reddish soft earthenware and blue-gray hard pottery, along with roof tile pieces engraved with fishbone patterns and finger marks, have been discovered inside the fortress, suggesting it was used until the Goryeo period. During the Japanese invasions of Korea, General Kwon Yul and approximately 2,300 militia and monks achieved a great victory over about 30,000 Japanese troops. Annual memorial rites and various cultural events are held to commemorate the Haengju victory led by General Kwon Yul, who saved the country from crisis. At Chungjangsa Shrine, where Kwon Yul's portrait is enshrined, incense is burned and memorial rites are performed to invite the general's spirit. It is a place to learn about the patriotism and wisdom of ancestors.

Goyang Seooreung [UNESCO World Heritage] 4

Seooreung (西五陵) means 'five tombs located in the west' and refers to five royal tombs: Gyeongneung (敬陵), Changneung (昌陵), Ikneung (翼陵), Myeongneung (明陵), and Hongneung (弘陵). Seooreung is the second largest group of Joseon royal tombs after Donggureung in Guri. In 1457 (the 3rd year of King Sejo), the first tomb, Uimyo (懿墓, Gyeongneung) of Crown Prince Uigyeong, Sejo's first son, was established. In 1470 (the 1st year of King Seongjong), Changneung (昌陵) of King Yejong was the first royal tomb constructed. Subsequently, tombs were added for Crown Prince Sunhoe (Sunchangwon), Queen Ingyeong (Ikneung), King Sukjong (Myeongneung), and Queen Jeongseong (Hongneung), making five tombs and one garden during the Joseon era. In the 1970s, the tomb of Yeongbin Lee (Sugeongwon, 綏慶園) and the Daebin tomb (대빈묘) of Ok-san Bu-dae-bin Jang were relocated here, forming the current Seooreung.
