As a building used to store ice, it was built in the form of a warehouse dug into the ground. While looking around and observing the interior is possible, visitors may not enter the icehouse for safety reasons. At night, there are lights on around the ice storage, which makes viewing possible at anytime. It is located across from Cheongdoeupseong Walled Town, making it a good stop when visiting.

Regardless of gender or age, anyone can walk comfortably and easily on the smooth trail while enjoying the beauty of each season. In addition, visitors can have a cup of coffee at many unique cafes around the walled town while admiring the view of the walls.
