Suwon fortress...





In Suwon (a city that borders Seoul), there is a large 6-km. fortress wall that encircles the downtown area of town. Built in the late 1700s it is beautifully intact, complete with observation posts, archery platforms, signal fire/furnace turrets and training facilities. It took an entire afternoon to walk the entire fortress wall, and it was great!

Hi! You would't have any idea who log into your blog.
I thank you for sending me a beautiful postcard which reminds me my birth place.
I bet you the weather in Daejon by now is pretty warm already. Even in Peterborough, we finally got a taste of the Spring temperature starting today.
Suwon is the place where I went to college. When I saw this picture, I couldn't resist to write a few words to you guys.
I hope that you enjoy your stay in Korea as much as you could. I will write you again. God bless you all!
