Manseokgeo Park centers around Manseokgeo Reservoir, built in 1795 to combat drought by transforming barren land into a water source. The park features a pavilion, tennis courts, a playground, small convenience store, an outdoor concert hall, and an art museum. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom, while summer brings beautiful lotus flowers to the lake. A well-maintained walking trail encircles the reservoir, and at night, the rainbow-colored musical fountain provides a spectacular view.

View detailed guide on Korea Trip Guide →

This restaurant occupies a remodeled public bath and inn, preserving the original chimney from its bathhouse days. Known for offering Suwon wanggalbi at relatively affordable prices, it also serves galbitang (galbi soup) exclusively during lunchtime on weekdays. Due to limited availability, galbitang often sells out quickly.

Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion, officially called Dongbukgangnu Pavilion, was built in 1794 during the construction of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. It sits atop a hill east of Hwahongmun Gate and offers beautiful views of the surrounding scenery. For this reason, the pavilion received the nickname Banghwasuryujeong, meaning a pavilion where one can “find flowers and stroll among willow trees.” The pavilion was once damaged due to flooding and reconstructed in 1848, followed by continuous recovery and preservation efforts. In 2011, the pavilion was designated as Treasure No. 1709. Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion is evaluated as one of the most original architectures in Hwaseong for its unique composition and roof design that offer a different look depending on the viewer’s angle. Known to be the spot where King Jeongjo would stop by to rest on his way to Hwaseong Fortress, the pavilion offers a bird’s-eye-view of Yeonmudae Post to the east and Janganmun Gate to the west with Paldalsan Mountain in the background.

Hwaseomun Gate is the western gate of Hwaseong Fortress, a Treasure. Over the stone mujigae (rainbow) door is a single-story tower gate. Hwaseomun Gate’s ongseong (defensive gate) forms a crecent shape, with one side of the ongseong remaining open.

⊙ Haengnidan Street (행리단길)

View detailed guide on Korea Trip Guide →

Haengnidan Street is a stretch of approximately 612 meters from Hwahongmun Gate of Hwaseong Fortress to Hwaseo Park. The name Haengnidan Street originates from Haenggung-dong (Haenggung referring to the king’s temporary palace) and Gyeongnidan Street, a popular area in Itaewon, Seoul. This vibrant district seamlessly blends tradition and modernity, featuring a variety of unique restaurants, stylish cafés, concept stores, and exhibition spaces. It has become one of Suwon’s most iconic attractions.

⊙ Haenggung-dong Mural Village (행궁동 벽화마을)

Suwon’s Haenggung-dong is the name for 12 neighborhoods, including Jangan-dong and Sinpung-dong, in the Hwaseong Fortress area. It was the most bustling place in Suwon from when the Hwaseong Fortress was built 220 years ago until just a few decades ago. However, with Hwaseong Fortress being designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, time seems to have stopped due to strict development regulations. In the meantime, residents, civic groups, and artists came together to paint murals in effort to make the area become more alive. Due to their efforts, the region has now emerged as a tourist attraction visited by as many people as Hwaseong Fortress.

The Haenggung-dong comprises various alleys connected depending on their characteristics, including the Mural Village, Workshop Street, Suwon Chicken Street, and Jidong Market. The Mural Village is divided into six alleyways by theme, including the Haengbokha (Happy) Road, Saranghada (Love) Road, Nuneuroganeun (to Snow) Road, Cheoeumachim (First Morning) Road, Romance Road, and Dwiroganeun (Backward) Road. A photo zone has been set up in front of the mural, and not only the mural but also the walls, roof, and fence are filled with various sculptures and paintings. Many pretty workshops and cafés nearby are also interesting to look around.

◎ Travel information to meet Hallyu’s charm – TV series “Lovely Runner”
Haenggung-dong Mural Village sets the scene where Sol and Sun-jae walked to school together. It is also where the memorable scene was filmed of Sol dashingly pushing a flustered Sun-jae against the wall. As you stroll along the low stone walls adorned with murals, it’s easy to imagine the couple’s school-day moments, adding a nostalgic charm to your walk.

Yeonmudae located inside Suwon’s Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Situated on a relatively high hill between Changnyongmun (the east gate of the fortress) and Hwahongmun (a north floodgate), Yeonmudae is an excellent military observation post with sweeping views of the inside of the fortress. After the fortress was completed in 1796, Yeonmudae was used as a training ground for troops for over two centuries, where they learned fighting skills involving swords, spears and arrows.

At Yeonmudae, visitors can learn archery while wearing traditional military attire; the fortress also offers a wide array of performances for visitors to appreciate traditional Korean culture. Yeomudae is included in the Suwon City Tour course.
