Suwon Hwaseong Fortress ia a beautifully preserved, UNESCO-listed site that offers a fascinating glimpse into Korea's Jaseon-era. The impressive stone walls, gates, and watchtowers are a testament to 18th century engineering and provide a scenic walk with panoramic views of Suwon City. What truly elevated out experience was our excellent guide, Leo. His deep historical knowledge and engaging story telling brought the Fortress to life, helping us appreciate the cultural and strategic significance of every structure. Thanks to Leo, our experience was not only educational but also truly memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Korea!

Full description

Explore a piece of Korean history in a unique light on this night tour of the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. Discover one of the most well-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 neighborhood 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.

Our tour guide Shin did a wonderful job, as my wife and I were the only ones on the tour, so we were wondering why there was no one else. It turns out that Shin knew so much about Korean history and he was easy to talk to. We learned so much about Korean history from Shin and we had a great time seeing the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, and other places. The fortress is really a must see at night, and I think that many tourists really miss out on the beauty and history of what this UNESCO place is, because it may not be as popular as other tours, such as the DMZ tour. The driver was also really courteous and got us back to our hotel area safely. I recommend this tour, especially with Shin as your tour guide!
