Gochang Eupseong Fortress

고창읍성

An hour-long loop on a stone town wall

Address

1 Eupseong-gil, Gochang-eup, Gochang

The Joseon-era town fortress survives almost whole, and you can walk the full loop along the top. It is short enough that a slow circuit takes about an hour. A local custom, dapseong-nori, says circling the wall keeps you healthy, and some visitors play along. Inside, a grove of giant bamboo gives a separate, shaded stretch.
