Munui Ancient Fortress

We spent the afternoon at Munui, an ancient fortress built in 474 AD. I love looking at historical things and you can't get much more historic than this. It was an entire village full of buildings and pagoda's. We all had a great time and learned a lot. It is so great to have my parents here as our personal tour guides. Family time and sightseeing all in one!Luke climbing and echo gateway, he thought it was Spiderman's web.
Natural spring water, said to heal. Usually used to purify yourself before entering temple grounds.
Chungsingak, a memorial shrine built to honor the loyalty of Kim Seon-bok. He met a heroic death in the 16th century.

Beautiful photos. What an incredible experience. When your kids study this stuff in school they can say, "Yeah, I've been there." So cool.

Wow! how fun for your kids to get to take a trip like this. You are so brave to have done the trip alone, I don't know if I would be so daring. Anyways, have a wonderful time!
