Geumseongsanseong Fortress in Geumseongsan Mountain (603m) forms a boundary
between two small villages located on the border of two provinces (Geumseong-myeon,
Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do and Sunchang-gun, Jeollabuk-do) and is one of the
three popular mountains of the Honam region (the Southwestern region of Korea
that includes Jeollanam-do and Jeollabuk-do). 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.

Located 13 kilometers away from Damyang-eup, Chuwolsan Mountain (731 m) was designated Jeollanam-do Provincial Monument No. 4 and is one of the five famous mountains of Jeollanam-do. It marks the boundary between Jeollanam-do, South Jeolla Province (Wolgye-ri, Yong-myeon, the most northern town in Damyang-gun) and Jeollabuk-do, North Jeolla Province (Bokheung-myeon, Sunchang-gun). The mountain has a dense forest, rock formations and stones, and rock walls that look like manmade fortifications with a narrow path to the west which can accommodate only one person at a time.
Shaped like a Buddhist monk lying down when it is seen from Damyang-eup's side, it is popular for its various naturally grown medicinal herbs as well as rare kinds of Chuwolsan orchids. The base of the mountain has gentle slopes and densely packed old pine trees, making it the best destination for families in summer. The hiking trail is hard to climb despite the fact that the peak is not very high. However, it is visited by mountain climbers all year long.
Before reaching Sangbong Peak, there is a hermitage and a mineral spring that never dries up. The peak also boasts an impressive view of the surrounding area, including Damyangho Lake. Chuwolsan Mountain was a battle site during the Imjin War along with the nearby Geumseongsanseong Fortress. The last battle of Donghak Peasant Revolution also took place at Chuwolsan Mountain.
