Suwon, the city of youth and cultural heritage! (K-ETA)

ETA portal | Updated on 2024-01-11

Hello everyone There are so many cities and regions in Korea, and usually when you first come to Korea, you will see a lot of Seoul.
But I think there are some people who want to go to areas other than Seoul, so I will introduce Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, where you can go close to it.
Suwon is one of the places where you can enjoy cultural heritage and hot spots at the same time.
If you want to travel near Seoul, I think it would be good to focus on it, so let's start right away.

 


First, I'd like to introduce you to Hwaseonghwagung Palace. Hwaseonghwagung Palace was a temporary residence of the king.
It was also known as the secondary palace of Gyeongbokgung Palace because of its grandeur and versatility. After the tragic death of his father, Crown Prince Sado.
he was buried in Suwon, the most famous palace at the time, and the city and castle were built. Here, you can experience a variety of cultural experiences.
for those who want to experience a Korean palace.

 


Next is Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, which was built to protect Hanyang by establishing forts in Gwangju, Ganghwa, Suwon, and Gaeseong in an east-west and north-south direction.
It was built to protect Hanyang, and its historical value is increasing as it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Various permanent performances are held and the Hwaseong Cultural Festival is held in the fall to promote Hwaseong!
At night, it's even more beautiful when it's lit up, so we recommend visiting at night.

 


If you're done with the above two areas, we recommend Hyeongnidan-gil, which is full of restaurants and cafes.
like Gyeongnidan-gil in Seoul, but it's called Gyeongnidan-gil because it's a combination of Haenggung-dong and Gyeongnidan-gil! It's designated as a restricted development area.
There are many aging houses and hanoks, but many shops have remodeled these buildings, making it a representative street for young people.
If you walk along Haengnidan-gil, you can enjoy delicious food and coffee!


Today, I told you about the tourist spots in Suwon, but there are many other tourist spots, so if you get your KETA application approved
