Hwaseong Fortress

Located in in Suwon is a large historical fortress. I take a walk through most of it and show some of the more interesting features.

hey, i'll probably be heading to hwaseong fortress with my family when we visit seoul next week, but i was just wondering, how long do you recommend we explore the fortress?

cause i have no clue on how long we might need to take to cover the fortress (one or two hours or a day?)

thank you so much :)

[qiranger]

To walk the entire perimeter it will take a few hours. Depending on when you go (Saturday or Sunday) there are also some free performances at Hwaseong Haenggung (the palace inside the fortress). I'd allocate half a day to fully explore everything it has to offer.

Suwon is the only city in South Korea that is still surrounded by the walls from its ancient times.

It's really marvellous understanding about Korea, even though you stayed not for a long during your journey. Those are explained sophiscately in the view of a foreigner. I live in Suwon. Anyway, I should study more about our genuine culutre as you did.

I really, and deeply appreciate you. I respect you. You are worthy to be praised.
