Seoichi is a great place to enjoy the panoramic view and historical atmosphere at the same time while walking along the fortress wall๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #2024WishEvent #koreatrip Suwon Hwaseong Seoichi Alone Winter Historical Walk On the afternoon of February 17th, I went up to Seoichi Observatory and looked at the snow-covered fortress walls. This place, which was used as a military observation post when the fortress was built in 1796, allowed me to feel the spirit of the Joseon military while looking at the snowy scenery of Paldasan Mountain! The guide told me, "There is a trace of a secret passage under the west stairs," so I dug around, and as a bonus, I found a stone carving written by King Jeongjo himself. ๐Ÿ“Œ Honjok Key Tips Hidden Point: Seoichi 2nd floor window gap โ†’ Harmonious view with Hwaseong Haenggung Recommended time: 3-4 PM (the sunset colors the castle walls golden) Snack: Replenish your energy with buckwheat pancakes (3,000 won) from the nearby 'Hwaseong Bakery' ๐Ÿšจ Notes Slippery stair railings (winter shoes required) No interior photography allowed (outdoors only) Beware of frozen stone roads in winter Around 5 PM, I heard the sound of Hwaseong Royal Car horns as I came down from Seoichi. Even though it was cold, the sound of the wind blowing through the castle walls sounded like the voices of old soldiers. I plan to visit again in the spring to see cherry blossoms covering the castle walls! ๐ŸŒธ #korea #FebruaryTravelSupportEvent
