The fortress is surrounded by two walls connecting Cheolmabong Peak, Undaebong Peak, and Jangdaebong Peak. The total length of the outer wall is 6.486 meters and inner wall is 859 meters.

Historians are uncertain about the year the fortress was built, and have concluded that it dates back to the Three Kingdoms Period (57 BC – 676 AD) based on an examination of the ruins and remains discovered in the surrounding area. The fortress was reconstructed in 1409 and repaired in 1610 after the Imjin War (1592-1598). Following that, it continued to develop into a strong military base.

Damyang Metasequoia-lined Road is one of Korea's most beautiful paths. Metasequoia trees were planted along the street in the early 1970s by the Ministry of Internal Affairs after National Road 24 was rebuilt. At that time, the saplings were only 3 to 4 years old and their branches stretched sparsely out into the sky; now, the trees have grown so high that they seem to block out the sun. Thanks to these stately trees, in 2002 the Korea Forest Service selected the boulevard as one of the most beautiful roads in Korea. The 8.5-kilometer-long boulevard is one of the most popular driving routes in Korea, especially during summer when the trees’ lush green leaves are at their x_height of beauty.

This unique street, known for its cafés selling ssanghwacha, is located along Jungang 1-gil, which is about 200 meters from Jeonbuk Jeongeup Police Station, right in the heart of downtown Jeongeup. Ssanghwacha is a traditional Korean tea made by brewing ssanghwatang, an herbal concoction that includes ingredients like white woodland peony, Chinese foxglove, angelica root, cinnamon, and licorice. Often, to cater to personal tastes, nuts such as walnuts and pine nuts, along with egg yolk, are added to the brew. This tea is particularly favored by middle-aged Koreans and is commonly consumed for its restorative properties when one is suffering from a cold or feeling run-down. The flavor is distinctively herbal with a bitter edge and a sweet finish. At the street’s entrance, a sculpture featuring a ssanghwacha teapot offers a warm welcome to visitors. The renowned Ssanghwatang Teahouse, with a history spanning over 30 years, remains a strong presence on this street, accompanied by about ten other large and small teahouses specializing in ssanghwatang. These cafés typically serve traditional Korean desserts like garaetteok (rice cake stick) and nurungji (scorched rice), which complement the herbal tea perfectly.
