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.
