#ForNewLearners, a 40-minute ski trip for beginners, including equipment and instruction – super affordable! ❄️🏂** Looking for an easy way to ski from downtown Seoul?

A great choice for those on a tight schedule or just looking to ski! 2. **Beginner's Paradise, Instructor-Guided: **No need to be afraid! **We offer **specialized lessons** for beginners. We recommend taking a lesson with a professional instructor (approximately 1-2 hours) to master the basics and gain a sense of safety before heading out on your own for the ultimate peace of mind! ⛷️🏂 3. **Great Value, All-Inclusive Package:** Now here's the kicker! **Instruction + ski equipment rental (skis/snowboards, snow boots, etc.) for only ¥84,000 (approximately HKD 560 / TWD 2,250)**!

Bookings usually include lessons and equipment rentals, saving time and effort. * There's a cafeteria on site, so you don't have to worry about going hungry, but the selection isn't extensive, so bring some snacks. * Ski equipment is available on site, but beginners are advised to rent it first. Consider purchasing equipment once you're truly passionate about skiing. * When booking, make sure to check what's included in your package (is the lift ticket included? How long are the lessons?). **Summary:** If you're a beginner skier looking to experience the thrill of skiing down the slopes in the most cost-effective and time-saving way, Jisan Forest Resort is definitely worth considering!

#AdventureMoment Address: 2, Hwaseomun-ro 31beon-gil, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, B1-3F (Rooftop) Atmosphere/Facilities: Beautiful during the day, but also beautiful at night. This cafe is housed in a renovated old house, so you can enjoy the entire building and garden. It's hot these days, so I definitely recommend sitting indoors. The second floor is inconvenient for carrying drinks, but perhaps because it's not a hassle to climb up, it's quieter than the first floor, and the seats are comfortable and clean. Key Points: Apparently, if you time your visit right, you'll be drawn to the trumpet vines. The waffles they sell here are a bit too hard, but I'm not sure if that's true. I don't think I'll try the waffles next time. It's a lively place that stays open late, which is nice. Average Price Per Person: 10,000 Won or more

#JulyTravelSupport The corridors of Wolhwawon Garden in Hyowon Park, Suwon, aren't simply sheltering from the rain; they're vital structures that divide and connect the landscape. The small pavilion, pond, stone bridge, and rocks visible beyond the corridor frame the distinct landscapes like a single frame. The composition is arranged like a scene at each path leading to the center of the garden. The crescent-shaped bridge over the pond exudes a tranquility that demands careful crossing. #SuwonPlacesToVisit

#Gyeonggi-do travel #Suwon restaurants One of the foods you must eat when traveling to Suwon is Suwon pork ribs. There are many pork rib restaurants in Suwon, but I will introduce you to Mapo Bonga Main Branch, a restaurant recommended by locals. Mapo Bonga Main Branch is a real restaurant recognized by locals. That's why there is always a waiting line and many celebrities have visited. Mapo Bonga Main Branch is located in Ingye-dong, where there are many rib restaurants. It is about 15 minutes by car from Suwon Hwaseong Haenggung or Banghwasuryujeong, and about 7 minutes by car from Paldalmun and Jidong Market. Mapo Bonga Main Branch is open from 12 PM to 10 PM every day. There is a break time from 2:50 PM to 5 PM. Last order is at 8:50 PM. Reservations are not possible on public holidays and weekends, but reservations are available for groups of 5 or more on weekdays. Mapo Bonga is very popular not only with locals but also with tourists. There are many delicious restaurants, so waiting is a must. I visited a little before 7pm on a weekend, and there were 6 groups waiting in front of me. However, the turnover was fast, so I was able to enter within 30-40 minutes. You can register your waiting time by going inside the store and writing it down manually. This is a single menu item for pork ribs. In addition, they sell cold noodles and bibim cold noodles for dessert. It was the best pork ribs I've ever had. The meat seasoning is just right and it's so soft that it's so delicious that I can finish two bowls of rice in no time. I highly recommend Mapo Bon-ga to those looking for a delicious Suwon pork rib restaurant. 📍Address: 10 Gyeongsu-daero 519beon-gil, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do ⏰Operating hours: Daily 12:00-22:00 (Break time 14:50-17:00) 📞Phone number: 0507-1415-5392

If you have been to Korea many times and have been to Seoul and want to find other places to visit near Seoul, I recommend this city. This city is called Suwon, about 1 hour from Seoul. You can take the subway. The place we visited is Hwaseong Fortress, which has many places to visit around here. There are restaurants, cafes, and shopping shops. You can walk around here for a long time. Most importantly, this place is so beautiful that many Korean series have been filmed here. How to get there From Suwon Station, take bus number 301 or 777 for 8 stops. Get off at Jangan Park and walk for 2 minutes. #Rainy season attractions

The third drama we are following is Twenty Five Twenty One. This is a series that makes us feel deeply emotional every time we watch it. During our visit to Suwon, we had the chance to see the scene that brought us to tears in person. This particular spot is located in a park on a hill. If you walk up from Hwaseong Fortress, you will eventually find this location. How to get there: First, you need to get to Suwon. From Seoul, take the subway to Suwon station. Then, take bus number 11 to Hwaseong Fortress. From there, walk up the path on Paldalsan Hill to reach the location.

#summervacay Among all the small Korean cities I've visited, Suwon really stands out as unique! The Hwaseong Fortress (Hwaseong Haenggung) casts a timeless, traditional charm over the whole city 🏯. Walking through, you feel a vibe of: "I’m deeply rooted in history but totally chill and unpretentious." 😌 The surreal sight of hot air balloons floating above the ancient palace walls feels almost magical and dreamlike 🎈✨. Near Hwaseong, cozy alleys hide lots of underground vintage shops 🛍️, creating an amazing contrast yet perfect harmony between old and new — it’s such a joyful experience! #Suwon #HwaseongFortress #KoreaTravel #HiddenGems #VintageVibes #ChillCity #HistoricMeetsModern

Having lived in Korea for six years, I’ve visited Suwon countless times. Here are my top six recommended cafes in Suwon ☕️🍰 I absolutely love the atmosphere in Suwon 🩵. Plus, it’s less crowded compared to Seoul, which is another reason I adore it 🥰. Haenggung-dong is home to many cafes, making it a great spot for cafe hopping 🌟. Suwon also has plenty of other charming cafes, and there are still many I want to visit, so I plan to update this list regularly 🥹. ① Paletscent Located right in front of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress ✨. You can enjoy a relaxing cafe time while admiring the view of the fortress ☺️. ② La piena I visited in the morning, so I didn’t get to see it, but you can view hot air balloons from the window ⭐️. The hot air balloon operates from 1 PM, so if you want to catch a glimpse, visiting after 1 PM is recommended! ③ we have today Situated right in front of Hwaseong Haenggung Palace, you can enjoy your coffee time while taking in the palace view ☕️.

#Let'sGoOverseas I went to a hanok cafe in Suwon, Korea🤎 This cafe is located near the UNESCO World Heritage site, Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, so it's a recommended cafe to visit in between sightseeing✨ There are cafe spaces on the first and second floors and in the courtyard, so you can enjoy the hanok building to the fullest🌼 The second floor was a very beautiful and lovely space with its interior and the view of greenery from the windows♡ There are also several sweets, and I ordered dried persimmon with walnut cream cheese🧡 This is a menu that is sometimes available at hanok cafes in Korea, but it's not available in Japan, right? ? (Please let me know if they have it🥹) I love these sweets🤤 If they have it, I'll order it♡ (Oh, I also like bingsu, so it's hard to decide🍧🤣) I went sightseeing in Suwon and took a break at a hanok cafe I was able to fully enjoy Korean culture and food💕 𑁍𓏸𓈒𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃🕊𑁍𓏸𓈒𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃🕊 📍 Onyu Yeowol (@cafe_onu_yeowol ) 🏠 65 Shinpoong-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do 🕰️11:00-21:00 💤 Closed on Tuesdays #hanok #koreatrip #korea #suwon #suwontrip #suwontourism #koreacafe #koreacafehopping #hanokcafe #suwoncafe #suwon #Suwon Hwaseong Fortress

#Let's go to Asia If you head towards Janganmun from Suwon Haenggung Palace in Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, you will find Cafe DOWHA 도-화, a Korean house with glass walls that make it look like a skeleton. Next to it are the Traditional Food Experience Center, Suwon Traditional Culture Center, and Suwon Etiquette Education Center, which are also Korean houses, so you can enjoy a luxurious cafe time while looking at the Korean house from the Korean house. The store's mascot is a cute tiger, and you can also get free stickers. I wanted to enjoy the ripe persimmon juice and the signature Dohwa latte, but they only had gold, and it was getting cold as the sun was setting, so I had a hot cafe latte. The strong coffee flavor was delicious. It may not be much of a concern when traveling, but it was OK to bring your dog. It was very comfortable, so I recommend it ^_^ 33-1 Jangan-dong, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do 경기도 수원시 팔달구 33-1 road address Paldal-gu Jeongjo-ro 887 Home 887

Originally I lived in Suwon, but now I came to Daejeon for school. Suddenly, while looking at photos, I saw this small house made of snow in the winter, so I want to introduce this walking trail. This is the Olympic Park near Suwon City Hall Station, and next to it is the Cultural Center where performances are often held. If you go there, it will be very healing. Also, there is Na Hye-seok Street in Inje-dong nearby, so there are many things to do, so it would be good to go there while healing.
