Course Overview
Haman's Marisan Tumuli (Historic Site No. 515) are tombs of Ara Gaya royalty, with burial mounds numbered 1 to 25 lined along a ridge in a magnificent formation. The view of Haman's fields and Namgang River from atop the tombs is beautiful.
Recently inscribed as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Gaya Tumuli, these sites hold immense historical value. Haman's Lotus Theme Park blooms in summer, and Haman watermelon is a nationally famous specialty.
