[2025 Suwon Attraction] Travel guide for Hwaseomun Gate (updated Dec)

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

If you've seen the drama "That Year, We Were" then this is it!! Yes, it's Eun's house🏠 The house where Eun worked. The house where Yeong-soo went to play. The house where Ji-eun and I had drinks. Eun's house is important in the drama! The good news is that it's still there as it is🥹 I wondered if it would be remodeled and turned into a cafe or something, but it seemed like no one was living there. It's been a while since the drama aired, but it's a mysterious drama that makes you want to watch it again🤭 To get there, go left along the wall from Hwaseomun on the west side of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, and you'll see it on your right! Immediately after the drama aired, many people made pilgrimages to the holy land, but now it may be a hidden gem✨ 🏠: Eun's house 🇰🇷: The house of the deceased 📍: The 31st episode of the filming site of the Suwon-ji Temple #CityWalk #OverseasTravel #KoreaTrip #KoreaTourism #FilmingLocationTour #KoreanDramaFilmingLocation #Suwon

A place with large windows that let in a lot of light and a great view! I could see Haenggung-dong Street outside the window, and it felt like I was traveling and sitting on a cafe terrace. Is it because I was feeling that the sky looked prettier when the window was open? This cafe randomly puts your warm drink in a pretty cup when you order it. That was also a charming point. Plus, the desserts are delicious, so I recommend it even more. 📍 Haenggung-dong Patterson Coffee #Cafe with a good view #Haenggung-dong #Haenggung-dong cafe #Suwon #Suwon travel

The silver grass flowers at Hwaseo Park in Haenggung-dong, Suwon, go so well with the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress that I think they're prettier than the silver grass I've seen elsewhere! They say you can see silver grass for a long time, from late September to November. If you go on a date in Haenggung-dong in the fall, check out the silver grass festival at Hwaseo Park -🤍 The atmosphere was the best! ✔Gyeonggi-do, Suwon-si, Paldal-gu, Hwaseo-dong 26-17 #flowerviewing #silkgrass #silkgrassflowers #HwaseoPark #Suwontravel #Haenggung-dong

Explore Suwon’s hidden gems this autumn — the city wall walks, crispy dumplings, and gorgeous sunset vibes set the tone for a perfect getaway 🍁🌇 Top Spots to Visit in Suwon: 1. Janganmun Gate (910 Jeongjo-ro, Jangan-dong): The largest gate of Hwaseong Fortress, open all day! Take a stroll along the ancient walls, and catch epic city views during cloudy or sunny weather 🌦️. Tip: Sunset photos here really pop — great for your feed. 2. Boyoung Mandoo North Gate Main (271, Paldal-ro): Must-try local mandoo (dumplings) right by the North Gate. The classic pork dumplings are the move, especially after a fortress walk! 🍲 3. Suwon Haenggung Dami Hotel (34 Hwaseomun-ro 42beon-gil): Stay close to all the action — you can easily reach most spots on foot. Super convenient if you want to chill or dash out for quick park time. 4. Hwaseomun Gate (334 Jangan-dong): Another iconic spot of the fortress, perfect for those close-up architecture shots. Both gates are open every day, so you can roam freely for that atmospheric autumn vibe. 5. Hwaseo Park (372-1 Yeonghwa-dong): Round out your day with a park stroll. It’s peaceful, with other trees showing off their autumn colors — also a chill spot if you get caught in a rain shower. Getting Around: Walk or use local buses for quick hops between fortress gates. Suwon taxis are cheap for short rides if you time your sunset shots or want a dry break from rain! Food Tip: Dumplings at Boyoung Mandoo = THE autumn snack. Don’t skip them. Extra: Weather can flip fast — pack a compact umbrella! Photos look awesome in both sunshine and clouds, so just go with what the sky gives you. #SuwonWallWalk #KoreanFallVibes #CityWallsAndDumplings #HwaseongFortress #falladventures

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck For the second story that I followed is Our Beloved Summer We came to Suwon so we chose to go to the house of the male lead in this story. The location of the male lead's house is a closed coffee shop. It is located in front of Hwaseong Palace. How to get there First, you have to come to Suwon. From Seoul, take the subway to Suwon Then take bus number 11 to Hwaseong Fortress Walk along the palace and you will find it. #TravelKorea

#Gyeonggi-do Travel Suwon, which takes 30-40 minutes from Seoul Station by taking the Mugunghwa-ho or ITX! There is a department store connected to the station, so it is good for shopping, and the nearby market is fun to look around. Go to Haengridan-gil, eat a meal, have a snack, drink coffee, and look around the prop shop, and you're done for the day!! There is Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, so it is a great place to take a walk or sit on the lawn for a while and relax.

The walk around Suwon Hwaseomun was very peaceful and quiet. The quiet atmosphere while walking along the old city wall made my mind comfortable. The surrounding nature also blended in, giving me the feeling that the history and present of this place coexisted. The time I felt while walking was precious. #SuwonHwaseomun #Walk #SuwonTravel #HwaseomunWalk #TravelMoment #HistoricalPlace #SuwonScenery #WalkTrail #LeisurelyTime #CulturalExploration #HistoricalTravel #Hwaseomun #TravelRecord #Suwon #TravelRecommendation #JanuaryTravelSupportEvent

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #FebruaryTravelSupportEvent #korea Yesterday (February 17th) at 4:10 PM, I arrived at Hwaseomun alone. The contrast of the red Dancheong and the snow-covered stone steps was impressive. The snowy scenery of Paldasan Mountain seen from the 2nd floor of the gate tower was memorable. As a bonus, I found a stone with clear traces of iron wire from the time of construction in 1794 next to the stairs! Solo travel recommendation😚 Quiet time: Weekdays 4-5 PM (best for sunset) Hidden spot: Traces of Joseon military rest area inside the left side of Hwaseomun Ammun (暗門) Local restaurant: Walnut cookies (2,000 won) from the 'Old Bakery' in front of Hwaseomun Around 5:50 PM, I watched the night guard changing ceremony being prepared under the gate tower. My hands were numb and I flinched, but I took a picture of the sunset with my smartphone while leaning against the wall and uploaded it to SNS right away! ※ Caution: Avoid the stone carvings on the stairs (slippery) #2024WishEvent #koreatrip

#Suwon Hwaseong A picturesque morning view to enjoy in winter! The sun rises late, and thanks to that, I was lucky enough to see my favorite sunset until late at night!

#Special Hotel Accommodation Event The Suwon Hwaseong Media Art Exhibition is held from Jangangmun to Hwaseomun, and I visited Hwaseomun first.

#Special Hotel Accommodation Event I went to see the Suwon Hwaseong Media Art that runs until October 20th!

I recommend "Hwaseomun", which is good for a night tour in Suwon~~⭐️⭐️Hwaseomun is one of the gates of Hwaseong Haenggung! At night, the lights are turned on, so it is much more beautiful and magnificent~~💛💛 I felt history and it was very interesting!! It was really nice to walk along the outer road of Hwaseong Haenggung while looking at the night view of Hwaseomun at night! It is a good place for a night walk, so I recommend it as a night tour course ㅎㅎ⭐️ In addition, there is Jangang Park in front of Hwaseomun, so it was really nice to sit down for a while and look around~~ 🥹🥹 A place I recommend in Suwon!!ㅎㅎㅎ💛💛 ⭐️ Location: 334 Jangandong, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do #Gyeonggi-do travel #Hwaseomun #Suwon travel #Suwon night view #Places to visit in Suwon

#RestaurantExploration #Couples Rather than a gourmet restaurant, a neighborhood restaurant that serves a generous portion of meat. A restaurant in Hwaseo-dong that you can trust and eat! If you eat pork with kimchi and bean sprouts on Piggy Dream Day, it's the best!! The fried rice you eat after eating everything is so delicious! A place where the price is cheap and they give you more than 200g of all meat! * Meat grilled on a pot lid * Bean sprouts are unlimited refills * Friendly owner ✔️ Highly recommended: Pork belly, fried rice 🍚 ✔️ Atmosphere: A good place for a family meal 📍Piggy Dream Day Address: 23 Hwayang-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do Piggy Dream Day Price: 10,000 won (per person) Recommended menu: Pork belly on a pot lid

Address - Suwon Hwaseong This time I went to the suburbs of Seoul: Suwon, to feel the sense of history. Suwon Hwaseong is one of the World Cultural Heritage Sites. A bird’s eye view from above shows the city surrounded by walls. Access: Take KTX for half an hour from Seoul Station to Suwon Station. #Korea #Suwon Hwaseong #Historic Buildings

#WinterTravel I went to Jeju and there was no snow, but I enjoyed the winter sea and went around Eco Land to reminisce about old memories~^^
