Hwaseong Fortress

#summervacay Suwon’s Hwaseong Fortress is one of South Korea’s most remarkable heritage sites—an 18th‑century marvel rich in history, architecture, and cultural life. Constructed between 1794 and 1796 by King Jeongjo to honor his father Prince Sado and establish a new, strategically planned city—integrating military, political, and commercial roles . The 5.74 km-long walls encircle ~130 ha of Suwon's historic center, blending flat and hilly terrain along the Suwoncheon stream . Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997 for its innovative military architecture combining Eastern and Western design techniques . #seoul #myitinerary #citydaytours
