[2025 Suwon Attraction] Travel Guide for Hwaseong Haenggung (Updated May)

#Gyeonggi-do Travel **Suwon Hwaseong (UNESCO World Cultural Heritage)** is a place that showcases the exquisite architectural beauty of Joseon Dynasty, and at night, the soft lights come on, creating an even more wonderful atmosphere. 👫 As a date course, we recommend walking along the Haenggung-dong cafe street to feel the emotional atmosphere, and taking the Hwaseong train to tour along the historical fortress walls! 📸 Hwaseomun, Janganmun, and Banghwasuryujeong are especially famous for their beautiful night views and photo spots. 🍽️ There are many famous restaurants nearby where you can taste refined Korean cuisine and Suwon Wanggalbi, so enjoy a gourmet tour as well!

Hwaseong Haenggung, located in Suwon, South Korea, is a beautifully preserved royal palace that reflects the grandeur and ingenuity of the Joseon Dynasty. Situated within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hwaseong Fortress, this historic site served as a temporary residence for kings and a place of refuge during times of war. Constructed in the late 18th century under the reign of King Jeongjo, Hwaseong Haenggung was designed as part of the ambitious Hwaseong Fortress project. The palace symbolizes King Jeongjo’s devotion to honoring his father, Crown Prince Sado, and his vision for a prosperous and secure kingdom. Unlike the main royal palaces in Seoul, Hwaseong Haenggung was more modest in scale but ingeniously planned to provide both functionality and elegance. The palace complex features multiple buildings, including royal living quarters, offices, and military facilities. Visitors can walk through its meticulously restored structures, such as the Naknamheon Hall, where King Jeongjo held important ceremonies, and the Bongnaedang Hall, which housed royal family members. The architecture showcases the simplicity and harmony characteristic of traditional Korean design, with wooden structures, tiled roofs, and open courtyards blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. One of the most fascinating aspects of Hwaseong Haenggung is its connection to King Jeongjo’s grand vision of governance and innovation. The site often hosted royal events, such as military parades and celebrations, showcasing the king’s efforts to strengthen the kingdom and promote unity. Today, Hwaseong Haenggung is not only a historic treasure but also a vibrant cultural hub. Visitors can enjoy reenactments of royal ceremonies, traditional performances, and hands-on experiences that bring the Joseon era to life. This remarkable site offers a glimpse into Korea’s royal heritage and the enduring legacy of King Jeongjo. #ancienttownvibes

A place where old footsteps remain in the city center. It is unique and heartwarming Nammun-bukmun-seomun If you walk along the fortress wall, there are many good places to take pictures ^^ Among them, there are many pretty and cool cafes and restaurants near Haenggung-dong (Hwaseong Haenggung). Among them, I found a cafe that is famous on SNS, and I took pictures on the wall. During the day, I walked around taking pictures, and I drank coffee. In the evening, I had a drink! A place where you can easily take a picture of your life with your back to the north gate is a cafe called "Palacent." You have to go up to the rooftop! It is recommended to go early and have a cup of coffee before the sun sets, as it is amazing to take pictures when the sun sets. ㅎㅎ How to get there: Namchang-dong, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do (I used public transportation and got on a taxi from Suwon Station and got off at Haenggung-dong Community Center) Attractions: Hwaseong Palace / Jangangmun (North Gate) / Jidong Market / Nammun Chicken Alley Hotel: - Recommended food & restaurant: Cafe “Palacent” 2nd floor, 904-1 Jeongjo-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do #Cafe recommendation #Couples #City trip #Safe trip #Date course #Summer

1-2. Palace It's a cafe where you can see Jangangmun Gate from all seats. It's nice because there's a rooftop and a photo zone. 3. Dudley Donut The donuts look cute and the fillings are really filling, so they were really delicious. It's a bit pricey, but it was really delicious. 4. Burur It's a famous pudding place, but the interior is small, but it's hip and really delicious. It's the first time I've had such a soft taste since I had pudding in Japan. Since it's one drink per person, you have to order one more drink besides the pudding. 5. Nammun Tongdak This is the Suwon Wanggalbi Chicken restaurant that appeared in the famous movie Extreme Job! There was a wait, but the price wasn't expensive and it was delicious. 6. Suwon Hwaseong This is the place that comes to mind when you think of Suwon! It's close to Haenggung-dong, so it's good for eating and taking a walk, and it's also good for taking pictures. 7. Banghwasuryujeong It's great for a picnic on a nice day! #Haenggung-dong cafe #Haenggung-dong restaurant #Suwon travel

#SuwonHwaseong #SuwonDateCourse I didn't know that the scenery you see while walking along the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress is this beautiful. Next time I visit, I definitely want to see the view of Suwon while riding the balloon in the sky. Still, the view and sunset combined with the balloon in the sky from below were really beautiful. There's also an archery range and a place to shoot cannons, and there are lots of new things here and there. I recommend it😎

📍Suwon Haenggung-dong #LoisBoulangerie I'll recommend a cafe in Suwon Haenggung-dong that I visited at the end of the year.

I visited the brand new brunch cafe "Le Pain de Paris Brunch House" that has only been open for 3 months. Le Pain de Paris Brunch House bakes and cooks fresh bread and food every morning, and they say they make it with good ingredients and no synthetic additives as much as possible so that you can eat comfortably and healthily at any time. It was so nice to be able to enjoy a warm brunch in a cozy space! The interior is cozy and perfect for Instagram, and it's a photo zone no matter where you take a picture! It was so great for getting the shot of a lifetime! There are various types of bakery and drinks, and even the tableware is pretty, so it feels like healing..✨ I was happy just like I feel better when I see pretty things🫶 If you go to Haenggung-dong, be sure to stop by:) ✅ Location: 1F, 2F, 3-1 Sinpung-ro 63beon-gil, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do ✅ Business hours: Every day 10:30 ~ 20:30 (20:00 last order) #Haenggung-dong cafe #Brunch cafe #Suwon cafe

There is a large public parking lot right in front, so parking is easy, and the interior is really nice. If you sit in the innermost seat, you can see the Hwaseong Haenggung Palace in the distance, which is great. (You can also see the parking lot and the road in front!) The Hwinangsi is so delicious that I tried it here for the first time and discovered its taste ㅎㅎ #IndoorDate #HwinangsiRestaurant #SuwonTravel #SuwonCafeRecommendation #HaenggungDong #HaenggungDongCafe #Cafe

Address: 2nd floor, 904-1 Jeongjo-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do Atmosphere/Facilities: Simple white-tone interior and rooftop Key points: All seats have a view of Jangangmun Average price per person: 5,000 won Rating: 3.5 ➕All seats boast a view of Jangangmun. The rooftop is also beautifully decorated and is a good place to watch the sunset. There are also various photo zones, which is nice. ➖The dessert selection is a bit small, and the interior of the cafe is narrow. So there may be a waiting line on weekends. #Hot place #Cafe recommendation #Suwon travel #Haenggung-dong #Haenggung-dong cafe #Palacent
