Toilet-shaped Museum? 🚽🤯 Comment “Suwon” and I will send you my full Suwon Day Trip guide. Hear me out—Suwon is wildly underrated! Just an hour south of Seoul, this city is the ultimate mashup of ancient royal history, hyper-modern architecture, and yes, some truly quirky surprises. 🇰🇷✨ If you want to experience Korea beyond the usual Seoul itinerary, you NEED to add the “City of Kings” to your list. Here is your ultimate Suwon hit-list: 🏰 Hwaseong Fortress & Palace: Walk the 5.7km UNESCO wall (it’s free and stunning at golden hour!) and step into King Jeongjo’s grand temporary palace. Pro tip: Ride the “Flying Suwon” tethered balloon for a 150m-high sunset view over the walls! ☕ Haengnidan-gil: The hipster heart of Suwon! Old brick houses have been transformed into trendy rooftop cafes overlooking the fortress. Keep your eyes peeled—it’s a massive K-Drama filming location (Lovely Runner, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and Our Beloved Summer). 🍗 The Food Scene: Do NOT leave without eating on Suwon Fried Chicken Street (fried in massive traditional cauldrons for the ultimate crunch) or trying “Wang Galbi” (King Ribs), huge beef ribs marinated in salt and sesame oil instead of soy sauce. 💩 Mr. Toilet House (Haewoojae): A literal toilet-shaped museum built by the city’s former mayor. It’s hilarious, bizarre, and an absolute “only in Korea” photo op you simply can’t miss. 📚 Starfield Suwon: This massive new 4-story viral library feels straight out of a sci-fi movie. The sunlight pouring in makes it a content creator’s dream. Go on a weekday morning to beat the crowds! 🛍️ Galleria Gwanggyo & Lake Park: Marvel at the Galleria’s architectural masterpiece with its jagged glass “Public Loop,” then grab chicken and beer (Chimaek) by the beautifully lit 1.6km Urban Levee at Gwanggyo Lake Park.
