Itinerary
'Banghwasuryujeong' is famous not only in Suwon Hwaseong but also in all of Korea as an outstanding piece of architecture. It is not only for its military purpose but also as an architectural piece, which is very beautiful. The view of Suwon Hwaseong from here is very beautiful, as you can see both the inside and the outside of the castle.
There are over 50 fried chicken shops in this alley. It is probably the representative place where the Korean fried chicken culture started. Here, you can enjoy whole chicken fried twice in a cauldron or seasoned whole chicken with various seasonings.
Jidong Market is famous for its various market foods such as sundae, hotteok, mandu, and gangnaengi. After taking your time looking around the market with your guide, try the market foods that you like. You can feel the excitement of a traditional Korean market.
The Haenggung-gil Road is filled with artists' workshops and their showrooms, so you can stop by and have a variety of experiences while walking along the road. You also can stop by a traditional tea room on this road and enjoy some 'Jehocha' tea, which was enjoyed by the Prince 'Sado' in the palace in the past.
