Recommended for a day trip from Seoul: Suwon, South Korea

Suwon is about an hour away from Seoul by train or bus.
Visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Suwon Hwaseong Fortress.
It is famous as a filming location for the hit drama "Dae Jang Geum" (Jewel in the Palace).
Unlike the royal palaces in Seoul, Suwon Hwaseong offers a unique glimpse into the Joseon Dynasty era, allowing visitors to experience the atmosphere of the time.
Walk along the fortress walls like a guard or explore the palace grounds like a court lady.
On weekends, there are events such as guard-changing ceremonies and traditional dances.
Be sure to check the latest information.
And don't forget to try Suwon's famous dish, Suwon Galbi (grilled ribs).
