The course starts at Momyungjae in Manchon-dong, passes through Hyeongbong, Jebong, and Gomoryeong, and ends at Yeongnam Jeil-gwan. Momyungjae was established by the descendants of Dusa Chung, a Ming Dynasty general who came to Korea as reinforcements during the Imjin War and later naturalized in Korea. The name means longing for his homeland, Ming Dynasty, and the nameplate on the main gate, called Mandongmun, is derived from the phrase "Baekcheon yusu pilji dong," meaning not to forget one's roots. The current Momyungjae was built using lumber from the demolished Gyeongsan Guesthouse and was constructed in front of Dusa Chung’s tomb. The building was renovated in 1966 and remains to this day.

Yeongnam Jeil-gwan originally referred to the South Gate (Nammun) of Daegu Eupseong. During the Imjin War, the earthen fortress was destroyed, and during King Yeongjo’s reign, it was rebuilt as a stone fortress. The four main gates?east, west, south, and north?were each given specific names.
