4Goyang
[OPTIONAL] Discover a fascinating piece of Korean history right by the Han River. This old military camp was once where soldiers stood guard to prevent North Korean spies from entering via the river. After 2018, the military left, some of the fences were removed, and a popular bike path was established along the river. Today, the camp has been transformed into a museum that tells the stories of past military operations and showcases what life was like for soldiers. It’s a great way to learn about Korea’s history and see how the country protected itself in the past. If you're interested in history, adventure, or simply looking for a unique photo spot, this place is a must-visit. Explore Korea’s past and enjoy the beautiful riverside scenery!
