A Walk Through the Walls: Suwon Hwaseong Fortress

#summervacay Just south of Seoul, Hwaseong Fortress stretches across Suwon with its grand stone walls and quiet gates. Built in the late 1700s by King Jeongjo, it blends history, nature, and design in one peaceful loop. You can walk along the ramparts, pass through old watchtowers, and feel how the fortress once protected the city. It’s not just about the past it’s about how well the old and new live side by side. Whether you go for the views or the history, Hwaseong makes you slow down and look around. And that’s what makes it special.
