PICTURESQUE Floodgate in Korea 🇰🇷

This floodgate is a part of the Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site which located in Suwon, South Korea. Hwahongmun literally means ‘beautiful rainbow-colored gate’ which consists of seven arched watergates in various sizes. Hwahongmun played a role of a bridge, connecting villages from the either side of the river. A bower on the river was used as a resting area for the people and facilities were equipped with canons to protect the fortress. This floodgate recently gained more popularity due to its connection with a hype Korean drama titled ‘Lovely Runner’. Many fans of this drama visit Hwahongmun to stroll around and take photos even recreate the drama scene which was recorded there. This floodgate is indeed picturesque, do visit on a day with good weather. We visited this spot in summer. 📌 Hwahongmun (화홍문) Suwon, Gyeonggi (경기 수원시) #koreatrip #southkorea #suwon #culture #unesco #gyeonggi #korea
