Sangdang Sanseong 상당산성

On our way back from Daegu we stopped in Cheongju, a city in central South Korea to visit Sangdang Sanseong.  Sangdang Sanseong, a fortress originally used by the Baekje troops, saw battle in the 1590s, and was rebuilt in the 1700s during the Jeosan Dynasty.  Today you can walk along the fortress wall and enjoy the amazing view on a clear day.
