Nearby
Starfield Library Suwon
Same name as the COEX one, a different building in a different city. The open stacks sit at the centre of Starfield Suwon, visible from anywhere on floors 4 through 7, and a separate children's library — Starfield Kids — keeps the same hours. Admission is free to anyone, and the first six hours of parking are free, which is long enough that arriving by car does not put you on a clock.
Haengnidan-gil
A street in Suwon's Paldal district. It carries more productions than any other stop on Suwon City's filming-location course — six — though one of the six is a variety show rather than a drama.
Suwon Hwaseong Fortress
"Suwon Hwaseong admission" is a question with no answer, because the fortress does not charge one. The 2,000 won everybody quotes is the ticket for Haenggung, the palace inside the wall — a different place with a gate, a closing time and a last entry.
Wolhwawon Garden, Hyowon Park
A Chinese garden built inside Hyowon Park, put up through an exchange between Gyeonggi Province and Guangdong. Its walls, pavilions and pond follow a grammar Korean gardens do not.
Stories about this place
- Four drama filming locations in Suwon — one fortress carries four shows, the other three carry one each
The filming locations Suwon City names, limited to the four this site holds a place record for, set out by work, spot and location. Hwaseong is not one spot but three — Namporu, the palace and Hwahongmun — and only the palace has a gate and a fare.
