Dongdaemun Gate where you can shop until midnight! The shop here is open until 5 am! Moreover, it was normally open despite being 12/31 on this day 🥺 Countdown DDP! A lot of people were gathered, but it was a very interesting show with a powerful projection mapping 🎶

Visited during Autumn but seems that the leaves dropped pretty fast mostly fallen. Some part still looking beautiful especially the glass house. But the palace is really big so set aside 1-2hours to walk around.

The entry is free and you can hike around the entire fortress. I like that there are descriptions on what each part was used for throughout history. This is a must-see when visiting Korea!

A neat little piece of history in the middle of the city. Not much more than a 10-30 minute stop, but worth the stop.

You can’t miss seeing this palace on your trip to Suwon! This is where Joseon Dynasty King Jeonjo lived Hwaseong Palace is a palace where Jeongjo lived temporarily before going to Hyeonlong Garden. At this palace, you can also learn about what each building and room was used for. The palace is also walking distance from restaurants, shops, and the fortress.

Paldalmun Gate Badamen is a famous landmark, so you must take pictures. It takes 20 minutes to walk from here to Suwon Station. You can also take a bus. However, I chose to go shopping slowly and found a path under development. There are many coffee shops, and finally there are many gourmet shops. You can have dinner here. Basically cheaper than Seoul, and the people here are more kind than Seoul

徐徐霞客Rr
Changqing Palace, South Korea, this place is one of the five major palaces in South Korea, and it is worth visiting. If you come, you can ask local friends, play with them, or ask a tour guide to explain together, otherwise if you go shopping alone, it is very boring.
