"The fortifications are vast. It will take a few hours to walk round along the walls. It is quite an exercise as a big part of it is a hill. But the areas have been nicely done up, so it is very pleasant, though the ugly modern Suwon skyline is always around everywhere. Most of the buildings have bee..."n rebuilt but it is nicely done. The originals are not really very old to start with, just over 200 years old. You can get to Suwon on the Seoul metro. From Suwon station, it is a 30-minute walk across the city centre, or you can take a bus. There are many.

"This palace is quite small compared to those in Seoul, but it is pleasant and nicely done up. You won't see the hordes of foreign tourists but you might see noisy Korean student groups."
"Lovely and well developed, this is an excellent place to learn some of Korea's long history, see beautiful natural surroundings, and get a lot of exercise all at the same time. It is not so strenuous that it can't be enjoyed by all ages, and it also wasn't as (over) commercialized as so many things..." are in Korea. Really enjoyed this one, and expect to see more of it soon. It was also very reasonably priced!
