Hi, I’m Tabi!

Beside Seoul, Goyang offers lakeside walks and historic sites. Ilsan’s lake and Deogyang’s fortress and tombs are separate outings; choose one first.

This guide covers places within Goyang, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

Water, trees and a path at Ilsan Lake Park01

A first-visit stop

Ilsan Lake Park

일산호수공원

An urban park with paths and greenery around a lake. Choose a lakeside section rather than circling every path; flowers and events vary by season.

Getting there
Check the approach from Jeongbalsan station on Subway Line 3

Restored earthen ramparts and a wooded path at Haengjusanseong02

A first-visit stop

Haengjusanseong Fortress

행주산성

A fortress site associated with the Battle of Haengju. Expect slopes rather than a flat park; the photo shows restored earthen ramparts in 2016.

Getting there
Check bus or other transport to the entrance in Haengjunae-dong

03

A first-visit stop

Seooreung Royal Tombs

서오릉

A historic site of Joseon royal tombs and wooded paths. Follow designated visitor routes; it is a separate area from the lake park and fortress.

Getting there
Check transport and the visitor entrance on Seooreung-ro

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Gawaji rice is a specialty crop promoted by Goyang City. Look for labeled local products as gifts; do not assume every restaurant in Goyang serves this rice.

Before you set off

  • Check park events and access guidance.
  • Consider slopes and weather at the fortress.
  • Check royal tomb opening days, last entry and designated paths.
