You can spend a moment to feel the bravery of the military officials of the past.

    The Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion, located in Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, is an exhibition building, but also functions as a pavilion built with stone and wood.

    People say it is impossible to tell which of the 40 or more snack bars in Jidong Market is the best and that every snack bar serves great food. You can choose and try 3 kinds of food in the market, and pick the best one that you like among the 40+ snack bars. The outside of the market that was designed to look similar to the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress makes you feel like you are browsing the market inside the fortress.
