Autumn Suwon Vibes🍂

Step Into Korea’s Living History: Folk Village Meets Fortress 🏯🌾
Ready to time-travel through Korea’s dynamic past? Yongin’s Korean Folk Village brings tradition alive with immersive performances, charming rural houses, and lively crafts, while the mighty Suwon Hwaseong Fortress showcases breathtaking city views and captivating ramparts just a short hop away!

Morning kick-off at Korean Folk Village (90 Minsokchon-ro, Yongin-si):
Wander the recreated Joseon-era village and try your hand at pottery or traditional games—many are interactive and surprisingly fun! Don’t miss the equestrian stunt show or the seasonal folk festivals. Snap insta-worthy shots of picturesque bridges and hanok rooftops, especially in the early morning light. Pro tip: arrive at opening for peaceful photos and snagging front-row spots at performances. The grounds are large, so comfy shoes are a must. Bring snacks—village eateries can get crowded during weekends.

Midday transfer to Suwon Hwaseong Fortress (320-2 Yeonghwa-dong, Suwon-si, open all day):
Stroll atop majestic fortress walls, taking in 18th-century architecture and expansive city scapes—Paldalmun Gate and Hwahongmun are must-photograph spots! Brave a hike to the top for panoramic views and hidden lookout towers. The best pictures come at sunset when golden hues light up the ancient stones. Caution: the walls can be steep and steps uneven, so watch your footing, especially after rain.

Efficiency tip: Buy Suwon local snacks near the fortress—markets abound! Expect transit between both spots to take about 30–40 minutes; taxis are quickest but buses are budget-friendly.
