Reasons to Visit Rural Fortresses

The cool think about hunting down the fortresses outside of Seoul is that they take you off the beaton path. You will discover amazing small towns, drive to the top of mountains, and get out to explore unique locations.

When you visit a rural fortress, you also escape the maddening crowd and connect more with the experience. Less is being sold and promoted to you. It's the perfect experience for those who want more culture and less consumerism.
