Nakaneupseong was the capital of this area in Choson dynasty. So there was the local government in this fortress. Usually the chief of this local government was military officer.
There was the local government office building in the northern area of the fortress.
While walking to the office building, there was a monument for a general who had governed this fortress.
He was a very brave officer, but killed by his political opponents in the government.
So people had set up this monument to appease his revengeful spirit.
It is strange the royal people had been killed so often by the bad people through Korean history.
The place where I got to was the resident building for King’s messenger. At that time King’s messenger was as same as King. So the building for King’s messenger was the most important in the office buildings.
The local governor should had served the special courtesy ceremony for King every month in this building.
There was a red gate in front of the official building.
This building was called “Gaeksa” meaning the building for guest.
But this building was the center of the office building in Choson Dyanasty.
After looking “Gaeksa”, I got to the main office building in the name of 'Dongheon' meaning the east building. Here the east is from the “Gaeksa”
The governor was working in this building. He had took charge of 3 powers, legislation, administration and judicial settlement.
The judicial settlement was very important job for the governor.
Below is the jail.
There was a living space for the governor. The governor could not bring his wife to the designated area. He should had lived there alone. His families had not been allowed to live together to prevent from the corruption.
So there were romantic stories between the governor and Gisaeng who had been the entertainer in Choson dyansty. Gisaengs were the specialists for music and dance.
Sometimes there were so talented Gisaengs in literature.
I’d like to introduce their lives when I could gather up the materials of Gisaeng.
The inside of kitchen for the governor was well preserved, and some resident women were playing a role of the housemaid.
Below is the gate of the living house of the governor.
The sky and the clouds were so awesome
Thank you for reading.
It is truly interesting to know and glimpse how the governor lived during the Choson dynasty. How I love to cook in that kitchen and serve the governor delightful Korean cuisine @slowwalker The buildings were superbly preserved and it is pleasing to the eye to witness its beauty in these modern times.
nice pix
man, your snaps are magical! What camera do you use and do you touch them up after or are they "natural"?
This feels like a different world than western civilization, which is why I'm so fascinated by this (although I suppose the idea of the powerful killing the just is universal...).
Love the architecture. That last photo is dramatic.
Korea is a good place for tourism!
Wow friend! Breathtaking photos and very amazing places you visit. Which camera do you use?

Follow me
Yes in the old days everything was solved a murder. To overthrow the king or the objectionable person to come to the purpose, or to seize his property and the power. Intrigue and cruelty. Now all this is also present in the world of money and power. Only now people act more sophisticated. The murder was replaced by virtual wrestling, wrestling in Mass media. If you want to defeat your opponent, then kill him with rumors and slander. Blacken his name and you will achieve your goal.
Thank you for an interesting tour and great views. The architecture is incredibly beautiful, I like this Korean style.
Wow... This is good story...
I like it the korean of storys.....
Success is your...
