On the dawn of 27 May 1980, citizen militia held out here to the end. After restoration it opened on a trial basis in late February 2026 and officially in May. Six buildings, including the main hall, annex, police bureau and Sangmugwan, can be walked through, rooms and all. Guided tours run ten times a day and are booked on the official site. It is a place where you end up walking quietly.
