Besides its natural beauty, Bukhansan National Park also has historic Bukhansanseong (North Han Mountain Fortress), one of two major ancient fortress in the Seoul area- the other being Namhansanseong, to the south of the capital - built to defend the royal family against attacking hordes of Manchus and Mongolians when all other defenses had failed. This historical fortress is similar in design and setting to its southern counterpart, and is located above the sprawling northeast suburbs of Seoul along the rocky high ridges of Bukhansan mountain.
