What you can expect

Explore a piece of Korean history in a unique light on this night tour of the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. Discover one of the best-known and loved UNESCO sites in Korea.

Depart from Seoul and head to Suwon, the only completely walled city in South Korea. Marvel at the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress which was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Designed by the most inspiring ancient architect named Jeong Yak-Yong, the fortress is a fusion of science and industry and incorporates Chinese ingenuity into its plans. The whole fortress is beautifully lit up at night. Learn about the Joseon dynasty's history including the fact that Suwon could've been the new capital of ancient Korea and that the king built the fortress to be closer with his dead father.

After exploring the fortress, the tour will take you to Haenggung-dong, AKA Haengnidan-gil, a charming area in Suwon. This area is known for its quaint streets lined with traditional Korean houses, known as “hanoks.” And also popular for unique cafes and restaurants in the younger generation. The neighborhood's peaceful atmosphere and historic ambiance make it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. You can check the kimbap restaurant owned and managed by Woo Young-woo’s father in Extraordinary Attorney Woo (ENA/Netflix, 2022) in this area. In addition to several dramas including the SBS drama, “Our Beloved Summer,” and the OCN drama “The Uncanny Counter,” being shot in the same area.
In the summer season(Jun-Sep), Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays you will visit Hwaseong Haenggung Palace instead. 'Haenggung' stands for a temporary place where royal families stay. Suwon Haenggung palace is the biggest of those. Enjoy the night views of this palace and take some great pictures. (No dinner or snack break in summer.)

The tour concludes with a drop-off at Myeongdong, one of Seoul's most bustling and vibrant shopping districts.
