Preview
Suwon Hwaseong
Suwon Hwaseong is a castle that has been registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. It promotes Suwon Hwaseong through various permanent performances and the annual Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival held in the autumn.
Suwon Hwaseong has both military defense functions and commercial functions in the form of a flat mountain fortress, and the facility is designed scientifically, rationally, and practically. At Suwon Hwaseong, you can also rent costumes and it is a great place to take a walk, so when the weather is good, it is a popular place for many Koreans to visit.
Suwon Hwaseong is connected by four gate towers: the eastern Changnyongmun, the western Hwaseomun, the southern Paldalmun, and the northern Janganmun. It has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its excellent architectural skills.
Furthermore, it is also recognized as the first case of a new city development in South Korea. Through experiencing Korean traditional archery in Hwaseong and ringing the bell of Hyowon at the peak of Palgongsan, as well as visiting the royal palace and watching performances, you can have a three-dimensional approach to Korean cultural heritage.
Suwon Galbi
Suwon Galbi, which is spreading the taste of galbi to the world beyond the nation, is larger and more generous than galbi from other regions, so the meat is tender and juicy, making the taste very delicious. When grilled over a faint charcoal fire, you can fully enjoy the authentic taste and savory texture of meat in your mouth with the true flavor of Suwon marinated ribs.
Large Jjimjilbang (Korean Sauna)
The last part of the tour course is a large jjimjilbang. There are many large jjimjilbangs that offer various types of bultam and also have plenty of food options in their restaurants. There are also many places where you can experience these facilities.
Try sweating out toxins in various saunas. Each room has a different interior, so it's fun to see.
In addition, don't miss the opportunity to relax and relieve fatigue in the relaxation zone and enjoy outdoor foot baths!
Aqua Planet (Rain/Snow Course)
Aqua Planet is a large aquarium where over 210 species and 30,000 marine animals, such as sand tiger sharks, small-clawed otters, and penguins, live. 500 Piranhas make up the 'Aqua Friends Zone', the 'Aqua Bubble Zone' with garden activities, and the 'Crab Island' where you can see unique crustaceans, among a total of 9 zones.
Especially among them, large main water tanks have a length of 26m and you can see various sharks. Furthermore, Aqua Planet offers not only basic biological viewing but also various ecological education and experiences. In addition, we periodically have special performances such as 'Aquarium Music Show', 'Aquarium Magic Show', 'Aquarium Art Show', so why not have a great time at Aqua Planet!
