Selected as a new project for the 2025 National Heritage Night Tour, ‘2025 Haengjuga Yesul-iya’ will highlight the beautiful night view and historical value of Haengju Fortress, showcasing new charms of the national heritage Haengju Fortress.

This festival creatively incorporates the five themes of the National Heritage Night Tour (Yaro, Yasa, Yaseol, Yagyeong, Yasi). Among them, the moonlight tour to learn about the history of the Battle of Haengju with a cultural tourism guide and the Yaro (夜路) course are available for first-come, first-served reservations on the Goyang City Hall integrated reservation site.

Last year, about 1,800 people attended the moonlight tour, showing great interest, and 33% of the spectators responded that it was a satisfying program, making it one of the most popular programs.
