Suwon Hwaseong Fortress Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Suwon Hwaseong is the 22nd Dynasty Dynasty King Jeongjo, in order to mourn his father, the second son of Youngjo. Although he was canonized as the heir, he was excluded from the faction struggle and failed to ascend to the throne. He ended his life in the rice cabinet. He moved the remains of his father from Baebongsan Mountain in Yangju to be buried here, and moved the eup city near Hwasan Mountain to its current location at the foot of Paldal Mountain in Suwon, and built Suwon Hwaseong Fortress.

Suwon Fortress in Autumn#fallingforfall Suwon Fortress is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is located in Suwon, Korea. It is one of the most important historical sites of the country and is the only castle in the country whose walls remain intact. Transportation is very easy and it is 10 minutes from Suwon Station. When you come here, you can walk around the city walls, ride a bike or visit the old watchtowers. In autumn, a magnificent view is seen with the color change and shedding of the leaves of the trees and I recommend you to observe this change here. #asiatrip #suwonfortress #travelinspiration #southkorea #fortressColuber13

Suwon fortress lake night view in fall#fallingforfall Suwon fortress lake park is located in the city of suwon, South Korea. The distance to the station is 30 minutes on foot and 10 minutes by bus. This is a beautiful place during the day and at night. Especially in autumn, you can do many nice activities such as watching the falling leaves, listening to the classical music playing around the lake and enjoying the view by having a picnic with your friends. Here, you can sit at the bottom of the lake or sit at the old korean building, one of the watchpoints of the castle, and watch the city. You can rent specially prepared picnic baskets from the nearby markets. Afterwards, you can take a stroll on the walls of the castle accompanied by music. #suwonfortress #suwon #korea #travelinspiration #fall #temple #asiatripColuber12
Beautiful Hwaseong Fortress Suwon, KoreLast year I visited Suwon Hwaseong Fortress with my family. It is situated in Suwon city wich some 50 mins drive from South Korea's capital Seoul. As the name describes, it is a fortress which was constructed in the past purely for defence purposes. However, presently this has been converter into a tourist attravction by the city administration.People visit and climb upto the fortress as it located on a hill top. At night especially, it looks all the more beautifup because of colourful lights which decorates it. There were alot of visitors who came to see with friends and families. Outside the main gate there was a large yard where kids could play different games. A wonderful site..zavir3

travelling to Suwon, South Korea was amazing! the city has an old fortress that surrounds the old part of the city, it is a UNESCO world heritage site, and we spent the day following the fortress wall! I will never forget the beautiful pond and the stones of the wall.D36***0225
South Korea's Suwon|Two hundred years of breath by the wall In the south-central part of Gyeonggi-do, half an hour away from Seoul, there is a city of monuments, which is the best destination for a look at the late Joseon architecture, where the Japan-Korea World Cup was held. There are also traditional fried chicken and the world's only public toilet museum. By convention we decided to go to the visitor center. When I jumped off the bus, I was attracted by the dragon-like city profile. When I talked about the city wall, I felt that there were some broken walls in my impression, but it was intact. This Huacheng is the most beautiful building in the north of the city. It is enough for a long time around the city! TIPS: Hwaseong Train is a sightseeing train between Badashan and Lianwutai. The faucet in front of the train symbolizes the heroic position of the ancestor (the 22nd generation of the DPRK, the reigning time of 1776~1800), and the carriage of the passengers imitates the sedan chair of the king. The total length of the Huacheng train route is 3.2km, and it takes about 30 minutes from Badashan to Lianwutai. Badashan Ticket OfficeLiAn.7
There is an Octopus Traditional Culture Street in Suwon City, South Korea, which is like the combination of Seouls Gwangjang Market and Insadong. It happened that I met the second-hand market and saw the two portraits. Recommend a ribs soup shop, line up every dayimissqingqing.17
Suwon, located in the center of the Korean peninsula, is a satellite city of Seoul with mountains and waters, "filial piety" and city-government civilization. Every corner here has the imprint of history and culture. The most famous ones are Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, Hwaseong Fortress and Xijiangtai. Among the three, Suwon Hwaseong Fortress is the most recommended attraction because it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Seoul, you can take the subway line 1 directly to Suwon, about an hour's drive. Of course, tourists can also take the train to Suwon. Suwon City is not big, and it is not expensive to take a taxi between various attractions. There is also a tourist bus dedicated to people in Suwon City for everyone to choose. In addition, you must eat grilled pork ribs once in Suwon! Because the grilled pork ribs of Suwon are a must in Korea! The most famous roast pork ribs shop in Suwon is the three father and son ribs shop. There are many people every day, so be sure to stagger the meals, or you will have a team that will be like us for a long time.imissqingqing.5

Suwon Fortress + Villages#koreatrip was super fun when you discover historical places. Suwon has a palace and fortress, with unique traditional villages. To get here, you must go by train towards Suwon and take bus or walk. It's walking distance from the station, however due to the cold, I took bus and follow google instead. The fortress is not that huge, you can just walk around it. It's basically just a defense high wall. Walking here for a while is enough then you can proceed to walk over towards the palace.mortaloveangel

Modern ft Ancient - Suwon city ❤️My new favourite place in Korea - Suwon city. It is a combination of modern and ancient city. There are so many pretty cafes located around the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress which make it so special attractive. Many famous K-dramas were filmed here such as Our belevod Summer, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, My Lovely Liar, Twenty-five Twenty-One, Dae Jang Geum etc. If I have a chance to be here again, I will come at night. #winhkflight #suwon #yolo I will take a hike to Tai Long Wan if I visit HK the next time. I love nature and have seen some post on the beautiful view there.SnowieLoveTravel1
Hwaseong Fortress One-Day Tour: Exploring a World Cultural Heritage in South Korea.Many might not be familiar with Gyeonggi-do near Seoul, but you've probably heard of Suwon city. Home to Samsung, Korea's largest tech company, this city with a population of over a million is also brimming with numerous historical landmarks and cultural characteristics. Today, we're going to introduce Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon, along with the nearby Hwaseong Haenggung Palace. Hwaseong Fortress is already a World Cultural Heritage site, similar to the Great Wall of China. Although it's a mini version, it still takes two and a half hours to complete the walk. The Hwaseong Haenggung Palace is even referred to as the 'sub-palace' of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and it was the filming location for the famous drama 'Dae Jang Geum'. If you have the chance to travel to Seoul, be sure to take a trip to the suburbs and check out Suwon city.愛玩豪豪

Suwon Fortress in Korea is a captivating historical gem! Rich in Korean history, this beautiful site is perfect for family and friends. With free entry, breathtaking day and night scenes, and a variety of great cafes and eateries nearby, it's a must-visit destination.
In Suwon Hwaseong Haenggung Palace, you can see the water flow of fire, and you can experience various experiences such as hot air balloons and kites flying.
Really a great friend to see.
From Hadamen, I walked to Soryumen, Nemudai, Huahongmen, Chang'anmen, and Huacheng Shodai at the top. It was quite wide and surprised ‼️. The cherry blossoms were in bloom and it was very beautiful.
Huacheng, located in Suwon City, is a world-class production with historical value. You need to pay to go to the city, but it is very affordable, the environment is green and beautiful.
Water source Huacheng is a very beautiful place very good place, the scenery is very beautiful, very different, every season every year has different scenery, it is a very good place, I will go and see again
