Namhansanseong fortress, Korea's 11th cultural treasure enlisted in UNESCO World Heritage sites
유네스코 세계문화유산 특집: 천혜의 요새, 남한산성
Namhansanseong, a mountain fortress on Korea's Namhansan Mountain... has long been known as one of Seoulites' favorite spots to go hiking or enjoy a nice drive around.
Located just on the outskirts of Seoul... it's a brilliant place to visit if you want a break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
But, less is known about its outstanding historical value.
Oue Lee Minyoung takes us to the past and present of Korea's Namhansanseong fortress... a UNESCO World Heritage.
Standing in the center of the country, Namhansanseong was the most strategic of all the mountain fortresses in Korea, and it has never fallen to invaders.
The fortress was built in the seventh century to protect the southern part of the peninsula, below the Hangang river, and it is blessed with natural defensive barriers.
Namhansanseong's history goes back hundreds of years to 672, during the Silla Dynasty. Every corner of this fortress city preserves the traces of the hard-fought battles of our ancestors. From the changes made in the configuration of the stone walls over time, we can witness the evolution of the weaponry and military strategies of ancient Korea.
During the Joseon Dynasty, the fortress was designated as an emergency capital, offering a refuge in times of war.
Namhansanseong fortress was designed to provide shelter to area residents in emergencies. The concept was to build a city that was also equipped with features that would enable people to fight off the enemy.
Unlike other fortresses, which are built on flat land and arranged in a linear form, like the Great Wall of China, Namhansanseong was built using the features of the land and scientific construction techniques.
The fortress sits nearly 500 meters above sea level, an effective deterrent.
The fortress walls, which are arranged in a circular shape, are seven-point-five meters high and 12-kilometers in length, another defensive feature in its favor.
Its strategic location doesn't mean the fortress wasn't subject to attack.
But with each invasion attempt, Namhansanseong was made stronger through advanced fortress configuration techniques.
Low structures called yeojang were installed on top of the main wall.
They had square windows, enabling soldiers to both hide and shoot arrows... and, later, firearms.
In another innovation, 16 hidden gates called ammun were built to allow for the clandestine movement of troops and supplies.
Later, spaces for cannons called poru were also added and the walls were reinforced to withstand attacks from cannon fire and firearms.
The fortress also has several other defense facilities.
Yeonmugwan is where generals trained soldiers...
and Sueojangdae is one of the five command posts built for generals to keep a lookout during battles.
The historic value of this structure is immeasurable,... as it's the only remaining command post in the fortress.
Below that, lies the temporary royal palace Haeng-gung, where King Injo stayed for 47 days during the Manchu Invasion of Korea.
The palace opened its doors to the public in May 2012, after a ten-year renovation project.
The fortress also has places where people can pay tribute to the spirits of the brave souls who sacrificed themselves during the fortress' lifespan.
Sungryeoljeon Shrine houses the spirit tablet of King Onjo, the founder of the Baekje Kingdom, which preceded Silla.
Hyeonjeolsa Shrine was built to honor the patriotism of three scholars who refused to surrender during the Second Manchu invasion of Korea in 1636.
A shamanic ritual is still practiced at Cheongryangdang Shaman Shrine to appease the souls of those who died while the fortress was being built.
The fortress's legacy has lived on with Koreans for hundreds of years, and to this day, the stories are still being told through an abundant variety of colorful attractions, including traditional music and dance performances.
Above all, the true historic value of Namhansanseong lies in the efforts to preserve its cultural heritage, and it will live on as Koreans continue to visit, pay their respects to their ancestors and get a glimpse of history.

Snippets of a Day in Ganghwa Island in Incheon
As we patiently wait for the house in Ganghwa Island to be finished, our days in Ganghwa usually consist of coffee, walks, and staying warm by the fire. These are little snippets from our most recent Sunday there filmed by my husband. It was a lovely and calm Sunday with family, puppies, and coffee.

On the Job, It's a Question of Balance
Koreans have a global reputation for working long hours but changes in workers' attitudes and research into productivity will likely bring that reputation to a halt. Koreans now want greater work-life balance and many Korean corporations are happy to oblige by offering flexible working hours, childcare services and mandatory vacation time. Employers hope that what was once a pipe dream for workers will hopefully create happy and productive employees.

Human history certainly holds its fair share of mysteries. Not all ancient civilisations were attentive bureaucrats like the Ancient Romans – the people of ancient Rome were excellent at documentation, so we know a huge amount about them, their society, and their traditions. Unfortunately for historians, the story of certain societies, and their creations will always remain shrouded in an intriguing mystery, with no concrete answers in sight.
A perfect example is the infamous Voynich Manuscript. The Voynich Manuscript supposedly originated in Italy. Carbon dating has put the handwritten manuscript around the early 1400s. For years, the nature of the Voynich Manuscript has puzzled all those who have come into contact with it. Why? The entire manuscript is written in a coded language, completely unlike any other language or form of writing that exists. No cryptographer has ever been able to decipher the code written in the book. Historians even enlisted the help of some expert code crackers, who worked during WWII, but none have ever had any luck. The manuscript itself is a few hundred pages, and most pages even include diagrams of strange plants that don’t resemble any living species. Although many historians and cryptographers have suggested, that the book could be nonsense, many maintain that the care, and attention the unknown author must have put in during the manuscript’s production suggests otherwise. It begs the question: why would someone spend hours and hours, (plus a lot of money – manuscripts were incredibly expensive items in the 15th century), producing something of no value to anyone?
However, the number of mysterious monuments, and places that left traces still visible today greatly outweigh the number of entirely mysterious artefacts that have been discovered. Some of the monuments left behind by ancient peoples are so strange, and so well constructed, that they have left historians mystified. Aside from monuments, certain places on earth have an inescapable air of mystery about them, that remains unexplained to this day. If you’re a bit of a conspiracy theorist and you’re looking for a new adventure, the following 8 locations could provide you with endlessly compelling mystery.
