DAY-OF PLAN
Know the sequence before you go.
Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
01
Choose a gate stop or a named hike
The East Gate stands around 415 m on the main ridge and connects to several trails. Decide whether the gate itself is the destination or one waypoint in a published route.
02
Read the heritage without climbing it
The restored gate and walls remain protected masonry. Follow barriers, keep off the roof and walls, and check any conservation or event control.
03
Turn back on the planned route
Do not continue toward another gate, peak or village from curiosity alone. Weather, grade and daylight grow beyond the compact monument area.
Do not assume so. The pin identifies the heritage gate; follow current road, parking and pedestrian signs.
Is East Gate the summit?
No. It is a ridge gate around 415 m and a junction for longer routes.
Can I walk on the fortress wall?
Only on signed public trail sections beside it. Never climb masonry or cross barriers.
Does continuous access guarantee a safe winter route?
No. Ice, wind, wildfire control and restoration can restrict or make the approach unsafe.
Are the operating details for Geumjeongsanseong East Gate live?
The displayed guidance was checked September 1, 2026, but it is not a live operator feed. Open the linked official guide and a Korean map again on the day because hours, closures, tickets and transport can change.
Can a traveller correct this page?
Yes. Submit a sourced community wiki correction or a current field report; proposed facts are reviewed before becoming canonical information.

Save 동문 and the intended return stop; the four fortress gates are not interchangeable pins.
Use a dry daylight visit for a short heritage stop and carry hiking equipment for any extension.
Keep children off the wall edges and do not pose on protected stonework.
Search “금정산성 동문” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
