Ganghwasanseong Fortress was originally earthen mountain walls, built during King Go Jong’s 19th year of reign (1232), after he moved to Ganghwado. It was built to repel attacks from the Mongols. The inner castle was destroyed when the capital was moved to another place, and at the beginning of the Joseon Era (1392-1910) the wall was again rebuilt with mud.

It went through much restoration until finally being rebuilt with stones. Ganghwasanseong Fortress originally had interior and exterior walls, but only the interior wall remains today. It has an approximate circumference of 1.2km. The exterior mud wall was approximately 9km in circumference with 8 gates. The huge exterior wall was built along the side of the east channel of Ganghwa, but no longer exists today. From 1977, the interior wall has been rebuilt many times over, but the east side of this wall has yet to be reconstructed.

There were four main gates in the wall. To the south, Anparu; to the east, Cheomhwaru; to the west, Manghanru; and to the north, Jinsongru. At the west gate, the historic Yeonmudang still remains. This area was where the soldiers used to train, and was also the place where the Korea-Japan Treaty of Peace and Amity (or Treaty of Ganghwa Island) was signed in 1876.

With its aching history left behind and beautiful scenery, Ganghwasanseong Fortress serves as an ideal place for a brisk walk or refreshing drive.

Joyang Bangjik, which means Joyang Textile in English, was the first rayon factory established with domestic funds in 1933 in Ganghwa, but were closed down as Ganghwa textiles declined over the years. The empty building was left in ruins until it became renovated as a huge cafe. A demolished wall became a wonderful art gallery and movie theater, a long workbench was turned into a coffee table, and the space where machines and people worked was filled with antiques found in China and Europe. A British door with a broken window, a round mirror from an old train in the Czech Republic, and a fish-shaped bun machine that struggled to turn itself over every winter are naturally arranged as if they were there originally, giving an impression of time throughout the cafe by utilizing the factory and building frame of more than 990 square meters. Currently, various drinks and cakes are offered.

The idea of Ara Waterway started nearly 800 years ago during the Joseon dynasty by King Gojong. Unfortunately, his plan could not be completed at that time due to technical obstacles and the difficult state of the country. After countless efforts and preparation, the construction of the waterway began in 2009 and opened in 2012.
