Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Jinju Fortress presents a pleasant way to pass a couple of hours on a nice day. The views of the river are nice and the temples within the complex are attractive. It is well worth the stop if you are passing by. You may struggle to get parked at the entrance, but if you continue along the road paralleling the walls, then you will reach more public parking. But.... Jinju itself is a depressing place, and don't rely on finding any decent eateries besides the attraction. We crossed over to a local cafe to find the usual obsession with coffees and a sugared pastry and nothing else to eat. Take some food with you.

An awesome place to soak in the Korean culture and history. Especially if you go in the month of October, you can enjoy the Lanterns Festival on the Namgang river, by which the Jinjuseong Fortress is located. Spread over a wide expanse, the fortress will definitely help you calm yourself with its serene natural beauty and small treks that you can undertake to get a panoramic view of the whole place.

It is very beautiful historical fortress in Jinju. Highly recommended must-visit place if you are going to visit Jinju. When i visited this place there was the Jinju Lantern festival, which is also very unique and beautiful festival. I recommend visiting daytime and nighttime. You can take many beautiful pictures :)) There are many Korean restaurants, and hanbok renting places.

If you want to experience a geunine local night out, I'd suggest trying to go Jinju castle. This place is so beautiful at night because light comes along the castle walls. Whats more, if you have a interest in history, this place is even more special. there is a historical place where people fought against enemies in Imjin and Geongyu war. When the castle was fallen, Nongae who was embracing japanese general committed suicide together. In october, you will be able to see Yudeung festival, which is originated by defending enemies and sending messages to family. It's a feast for my eyes. I recommend to visit there at the period

Jinju is the site of a Lantern Festival in October and there are many lanterns along the fortress and along the river. It is highly recommended to book a hotel well in advance as I couldn't find one when I looked the day of the event. The fortress is fairly interesting and was the site of a huge battle during the Imjin War. There is also a museum within the fortress.

Get ready to walk, and don't miss the 4D movie about the history of this castle, and i suggest that you go in October when the festival star 1 -15, or go in fall to see the most beautiful colourful view. Every saturday morning they make a traditional show with Hanbok, nice place really

This fortress is much more than some dusty pile of old masonry. It contains beautiful buildings, houses and a major museum. While we were there it was particularly interesting as colourful (historic) life sized manikins were everywhere, either attacking or defending the castle, or displaying aspects of life in historical times. The display overall is very impressive although a couple of bits were a bit to "Disney" for my liking. Like most attractions of this type in Korea the entry fee was very low. The castle walls and structures are in very good condition, parts overlook a large river. If you are in Busan I would recommend you set aside part of a day to visit Jinju and its castle. The bus from Busan drops you off a short distance from the castle, it's really worth a visit.

Former castle/military installation which has now been converted to a memorial of sorts with nice leafy grass areas within it's walls.
There are a few shrines and memorial installations on the premises and it's a good place to go for a stroll if you have any interest in Korean military history.
The car park is quite small and finding a parking space is a bit difficult particularly on the weekends, so best to visit early.

The fortress, does not seam that big and beautiful , but once you see it at night with the spot lights on the walls it is impressive. went during the lantern festival and it was amazing, I highly recommend it during October. the festival had a lot of vendors and activities in each side of the river. lots of nice food and merchandise. the fortress was clean and nicely presented. The Museum was closed during the festival, which was a bit of a let down.
