Suwon lies about 30 kilometres (19 miles) south of Seoul. It is traditionally known as "The City of Filial Piety". With a population close to 1.2 million, it is larger than Ulsan, although it is not governed as a metropolitan city.

Hwaseong Fortress

Hwaseong Fortress in the town of Suwon is just a 30-minute train ride from Seoul. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Korea’s most important historical treasures and is the only remaining walled fortress in the country.

This place is a great stop and definitely in my top 15 things to see in South Korea. The fortress, gates, bastions, command posts, etc are amazing and picturesque. So many great opportunities to get cool and beautiful pictures. Lots of food and markets located on the south end of the fortress are an ideal place to stop for lunch or dinner. Small entry fee gives you access to the entirety of the fortress. Parking near Yeonmundae Information Center allows you access to tourist trolley. Parking is 2000₩ for 3 hours. If you have time, plan your trip later in the day to see the fortress in day light and at night. Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Good luck and have fun.

I came here again, after visiting 2 years ago when I had tight time constraints. I was able to see all of the attractions in good detail, and some of the exhibits had been updated too. This is an excellent display of the history of electrical/electronic technology from the discovery of electricity to the technology of today, featuring many Samsung products produced over the last 50 years. Be sure to make a reservation or email for an appointment if visiting Monday to Friday, as visits are normally restricted to appointments only. No reservation is needed on Saturdays. 15-1 bus from Suwon station is the easiest way to get there and back.
