A stroll along Suwon Fortress

On Sunday we ventured one hour south of Seoul to Suwon. The main attraction of Suwon is a 5km fortress wall that was built 200 years ago by the Joseon Dynasty, the same folks who created the secret garden in Seoul. The wall affords you wonderful views of Suwon, which is contained within and outside its constraints. However, it is the wall itself that impressed us the most, with its bastons, gates, observation pavillions and thousands of steps. Here are just a few snaps from the day.
