The fortress offers various performances daily as well as the Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival every fall. The walls stretch for 5,700 kilometers, with Paldalsan Mountain at the center.

3. Danyang Gugyeong Traditional Market
Garlic, a specialty of Danyang, pushed the Danyang Gugyeong Traditional Market to the 8th position in the recommendation ranking among traditional markets in Korea in 2022. Coupled with a big fluctuation in daily temperature range, alkaline soil of this limestone area allowed the region to grow high-quality garlic. Although it is a little smaller than those grown in the Southern part of Korea, its hard flesh allows for long storage and the high content of alin offers excellent anti-cancer and antibacterial benefit. Danyang Gugyeong Traditional Market is full of exotic foods made with garlic. Garlic chicken sprinkled with fried garlic, black garlic chicken gangjeong (deep-fried crispy chicken dish), garlic dumplings fried in garlic oil, garlic pancakes, garlic sundae, bite-sized garlic balls, and the healthy Danyang noodle. All of them are garlic-based variations developed by local merchants.
If you happen to visit Danyang on the day that ends with 1 or 6, make sure to visit Danyang Fifth-day Market, which is held every five days. Danyang-gun has three of these fifth-day markets that take place in the neighborhoods of Danyang, Yeongchun, and Maepo. Among them, Danyang Fifth-day Market is the largest.

The peaks are said to represent an angry wife turning away from her husband who has taken a concubine in order to secure a male heir. It is said that Jeong Do-jeon, a politician who made contributions to the establishment of the Joseon dynasty, spent his young days here and used 'Sambong' as his pen name.

The square, created based on the design of traditional Korean bojagi (a colorful wrapping cloth), features the elegant beauty of traditional stonework that is colorful yet refined. The plaza also includes a model of Cheonggyecheon that provides visitors with a bird's-eye view of the restored Cheonggyecheon Stream. At the plaza, there are plaques that provide detailed commentaries on the 22 bridges that span the stream, as well as a number of graceful fountains that add to the ambiance of the area. The area commemorates the Cheonggyecheon Stream Restoration Project, and also symbolizes gathering, harmony, peace, and unity.After the completion of Cheonggye Plaza, the Seoul Metropolitan Government designated the area as a vehicle-free zone on holidays, providing more leisure space for pedestrians. Since then, the waterfront areas of Cheonggyecheon Stream, and the surrounding streets have become popular places for those seeking refreshment and a variety of cultural experiences. A favorite of many is the Candle Fountain, which features the magnificent synchronicity of three different lighting fixtures and a four-meter-high, two-tiered waterfall.

Shuttle buses to the Namsan Cable Car from downtown Seoul are also available for visitors' convenience.
3. Gyeongbokgung Palace
Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace is commonly referred to as the Northern Palace because its location is furthest north when compared to the neighboring palaces of Changdeokgung (Eastern Palace) and Gyeonghuigung (Western Palace). Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful, and remains the largest of all five palaces. The premises were once destroyed by fire during the Imjin War (1592-1598). However, all of the palace buildings were later restored under the leadership of Heungseondaewongun during the reign of King Gojong (1852-1919). Remarkably, the most representative edifices of the Joseon dynasty, Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and the pond around Hyangwonjeong Pavilion have remained relatively intact. The raised dias and stone markers of Geunjeongjeon showcase the representative art style of their time.The National Palace Museum of Korea is located outside of Heungnyemun Gate, and the National Folk Museum is located on the eastern side of Hyangwonjeong Pavillion.
4. Bukcheon Hanok Village
Surrounded by Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine, Bukchon Hanok Village is home to hundreds of traditional houses, called hanok, that date back to the Joseon dynasty. The name Bukchon, which literally translates to "northern village," came about as the neighborhood lies north of two significant Seoul landmarks, Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongno. Today, many of these hanoks operate as cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants and tea houses, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience, learn and immerse themselves in traditional Korean culture. As Bukchon Hanok Village is an actual neighborhood with people's homes, visitors are advised to be respectful at all times while looking around.
