Itinerary
Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon, built in 1796, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although parts of it were damaged during the Korean War, it has been perfectly restored to its original form. Here, I’d love to share with you the political background and hidden stories of Korea from that time. We’ll visit Janganmun Gate, Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion, and Hwaseomun Gate. If walking feels difficult, we can drive between the sites to minimize walking and make the tour more comfortable.
Have you seen Lovely Runner? This café is one of the main filming locations along with Hwaseong Fortress. We’ll stop by the spot where Sunjae and Soli were and enjoy a cup of coffee together. But because of limited time, we hace to choose between here and starfield library.
The Starfield Library is absolutely stunning! It hasn’t been open for long and is even more beautiful than the one in Seoul. But because of limited time, we hace to choose between here and starfield library.
If you’ve watched Korean historical dramas, many scenes were likely filmed here. This place is large, beautiful, and truly impressive. The houses are actual traditional Korean homes that have been carefully relocated here. There’s also a fun ceremony prepared to make your visit more enjoyable. To give you the best explanation, we even invited a local farmer to help us — we've studied hard to share all the details with you. You can feel the lives of Koreans in the past and take beautiful photos to remember the experience.

About Seoul
Royal palaces and hanok villages sit among glass towers, buzzing markets and late-night food streets in Seoul, South Korea's capital.
Five grand palaces from the Joseon dynasty grace the city, led by Gyeongbokgung, with its colourful changing of the guard, and Changdeokgung, whose Secret Garden is a serene escape. Between them, Bukchon Hanok Village preserves traditional tiled-roof houses on sloping lanes, and Insadong is known for tea houses, galleries and crafts.
Top-ranked sights in Seoul: Third Tunnel of Aggression, DMZ, Gyeongbokgung Palace.
