#Starfield Library #Suwon Hwaseong Fortress #Wolhwawon Garden
Starfield Library
One of the reasons more people are visiting Suwon these days is the opening of Starfield! As a hotspot for gourmet restaurants and fashion shopping, Starfield is a multi-cultural complex offering a variety of exciting experiences. Among its many attractions, the Byeolmadang Library stands out as the most popular spot. Thanks to the stunning photos uploaded on Instagram daily, this place is getting even more attention.
The breathtaking library spans from the 7th to the 10th floor, offering a unique view from each level. The front-facing view from the 7th floor is particularly stunning, while the 10th floor features eye-catching planetary decorations.
Why not grab a takeaway coffee and relax on the Byeolmadang staircase or a bench overlooking the library? It’s the perfect way to soak in the atmosphere. Just keep in mind that the library and parking lot can get crowded on weekends, so if you prefer a quieter visit, consider going on a weekday or during a less busy evening hour.
Suwon Hwaseong Fortress
The Suwon Hwaseong Fortress Trail is the perfect place to experience the true charm of Suwon! Spanning 5 km, this historic trail connects Hwaseomun, Janganmun, Hwahongmun, Banghwasuryujeong, Paldalmun, and Suwon Hyanggyo, allowing you to explore various historical landmarks on foot.
The fortress trail transforms throughout the day, offering different vibes at sunrise, daytime, evening, and night. During the day, you can enjoy the refreshing breeze, ride a hot air balloon, or even try your hand at Korean archery.
As the sun sets, the fortress is bathed in a stunning red glow, providing a spectacular view of Suwon’s skyline. And when night falls, the illuminated fortress creates a magical atmosphere you won’t want to miss.
Wolhwawon Garden
Wolhwawon, located inside Hyowon Park in Suwon, is a stunning Chinese-style garden built as a symbol of friendship with Guangdong Province, China. Surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant crepe myrtle trees, this garden is especially beautiful and refreshing in the summer. Though not large, it offers a peaceful stroll that takes about an hour to explore at a leisurely pace.
From its traditional Chinese architecture to the scenic bridge over the pond, every corner is picture-perfect. Take a moment to relax by the waterfall, listening to the soothing sound of flowing water—it almost feels like stepping into a historical drama. A perfect blend of nature and culture, Wolhwawon is a hidden gem where anyone can unwind and enjoy a tranquil escape.
