This hike is about an hour subway ride northeast of Saha, the area I'm living in. The first time I climbed this mountain I didn't have a camera. Now that I have a camera, I returned for photos of the fortress wall. Unfortunately, night started falling before we made it to the top. Most of us were unprepared for the colder weather & night hiking. Mt. Geumjeong Fortress is the largest fortress in Korea and covers a 17km site with walls up to five meters high. The history of this wall dates back over 2000 years. Next time I'll hike up to the main scenic area & take some better photos! 
This is a view of the northern most tip of Busan. The city hosts a population of about 4 million.

The East Gate of the fortress wall. 
This portion of the fortress wall drops below the grass strips. You can see the white colored city to the left of the ridge. It almost looks like it's part of the rock. 
The fortress wall extends over the tip of the mountain in the background, but it's difficult to see.
Here we are with the hiking group, enjoying a Korean style barbecue.
