This historical monument, which is included in the world cultural heritage, is really a surprise everywhere. 🌟 History is deep: 1794-1796, the 22nd generation of Wang Zhengzu of North Korea built it to mourn his father Zhuang Xianshizi, carrying the thoughts of his father and the political ambitions of the time. Walking in the city, touching the city wall through the years, as if you can hear the echo of that history, and experience the filial piety and grandeur of Zhengzu. For historical and cultural lovers, this is a living history museum! 🏰 Architectural characteristics are superb: the city wall is5.74 kilometers long, the defense facilities are super powerful, and the design integrates East and West architectural technology. The city tower moths and dough arches are exquisite and exquisite. Standing on the city wall, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Suwon City. The city gate, hollow pier, corner building and other buildings are scattered, the layout is exquisite, and each place shows the wisdom of the ancients. 📸 There are a lot of punching points: the night view of the Badamen is absolutely unique, the lights are on, as if crossing back to ancient times, and a shot is a blockbuster. Hollow pier wartime is an observation post, now is a good place to explore history, standing inside, can imagine the bonfire years of that year. There is also a visit to China with Liuting, a unique architectural style, perfect integration with the surrounding natural environment, no matter from any perspective is beautiful. 🍜 The surrounding food is rich: After visiting Huacheng, you must try local food. Suwon roasted meat, the meat is fresh and juicy, it makes a noise on the roasting plate, the aroma is overflowing, with special side dishes, and it is super satisfying! There are also fish cake rolls, fresh fish meat made into Q-pop fish cakes, and then with special sauce, each mouth is the taste of the sea. 🎈 Play suggestion: From Seoul, take Metro Line 1 to Suwon Station, and then transfer to the bus directly, super convenient. You can reserve half a day to one day, stroll slowly, and savor history. The night view of Badamen at night is not to be missed. It is recommended to check the sunset time in advance and take beautiful photos.
The entry is free and you can hike around the entire fortress. I like that there are descriptions on what each part was used for throughout history. This is a must-see when visiting Korea!
