Initially, the capital of the state of Baekje was located in the fortified city of Wire in the territory, presumably, of modern Seoul. However, with the fall of the Vire fortress at the Battle of the Hangang River in 475, the capital was first transferred to the city of Unjin (modern Gongju), then to the city of Sabi (modern Buyeo).

It is these two cities that we will visit during our tour.

According to legend, during the fall of the last capital of Paekche - Sabi (now - the city of Buyeo) - 3,000 Paek women rushed from the Nakhwa-am cliff into the waters of the Kymgang River. Currently, a pleasure boat runs along the rock, from the deck of which a beautiful view of Nakva-am opens. On the boat, we will make a short trip to the Pusosan-son fortress, which is included in the UNESCO list and was the last stronghold of the Baekje state.

In Buyeo, we recommend trying the local dish, yeongnimbap, rice baked in lotus leaves, served with soy paste soup, dowenjang, and a variety of appetizers and salads, panchang.
