Geumjeong Fortress played an important defensive role over the years. Now a historic site, you can only imagine some of the spectacles its fortified walls have witnessed.

Located in Oncheonjang, this history-filled fortress is worth a look. But you'll find lots more to explore in this area. Lotte Department Store Busan Main Branch, Shinsegae Centum City, and Busan Exhibition and Convention Center are within close reach of Geumjeong Fortress.

The hotel is newer and clean. The room was just as the pictured — very nice. Restroom is on the bottom floor of the room. The food options were ok. A little bit too pricey in our opinion for what you get. Parking was very convenient. Only thing that was disappointing was the bigger outdoor rectangle pool in the pictures was not the pool we were able to enjoy. They didn’t mention if we can pay extra to use it. That was misleading. The mobydick market was nice, wish the staff took a minute to kind of give us a breakdown of the hotel area that would have been helpful.
