A Day Trip to Suwon Hwaseong Fortress: Following the Stamp Trail
August 12, 2025
Suwon Hwaseong 10 Scenic Spots Stamp Book
Haenggung-dong, King's Alley Course 1
After exploring Suwon Haenggung Palace, we started walking the Dulleongil (perimeter trail) to find the stamp locations!
The Haenggung Palace stamp was located inside the palace grounds, but we had to venture out to find the rest...
I think the name of Haengnidan-gil is pretty.
Despite the scorching heat, perfect for water activities, we decided to visit Suwon Hwaseong Fortress.
We packed up the kids and set off early in the morning.
Excited to complete the Haenggung-dong stamp book, we grabbed one from the information center.
We started our walk along the perimeter trail.
The trumpet creeper flowers blooming above the red brick gate were so beautiful.
The trumpet creepers blooming in the residential area are pretty, but these blooming above the shop are also gorgeous.
JangAn Gate
After leaving Haenggung Palace, our second stop was Janganmun Gate.
The fortress walls were magnificent, and the gate itself was impressive.
People passed by, and I snapped photos of the kids.
Perhaps it was the extreme heat, or maybe we were just extra hungry from walking.
Feeling hot and famished, we had lunch at Namsan Donkatsu.
After lunch, we continued our search for the next stamp location.
We spotted the tiled-roof Ediya Bonica.
Since the kids were still feeling the heat, I wanted to treat them to a shaved ice and a chocolate latte to cool down a bit.
But they refused... They wanted to go get the stamp quickly!
We found the Hwahongmun Gate stamp.
Wow, it was spectacular!
Even though it was a hot day, the visibility was great.
We could see far into the distance.
It's the perfect season to capture the vibrant greenery.
Looking down, they pointed out the fish in the water.
I snapped a photo of my daughter watching the fish.
And I took photos of myself with the scenery in the background.
My son wouldn't stand still when asked.
I took some photos of the siblings together.
Where on earth is the stamp?
Turned out it was at the information center we had passed...
We looked for the Suwon Traditional Culture Center
But ended up going to the bathroom first.
It was so hot that we only took photos.
We couldn't find the stamp, so we wandered around.
We went inside a building.
It seemed to be an information office.
We asked for the location of the stamp container.
It was right in front of us????
After taking photos.
The stamp container was hidden right next to it on the right.
We got the Traditional Culture Center stamp.
On the way to get another stamp.
It was too hot.
We saw a pretty place while going to Sulbing.
We had a Sulbing gift certificate.
So we went to get shaved ice.
While waiting for the shaved ice, the air conditioning cooled us down.
But it got so cold while we were eating... I think we left about half of it.
Now that we've cooled down.
Let's go get the stamp.
The hiking trail next to Haenggung Palace.
Find the Seojangdae stamp!
My son searched a posting and found out that it's at the top, so we suddenly went hiking!
Mom is happy????
Wow..
Paldalsan Mountain isn't very tall.
But the view is so amazing.
The view is so refreshing
Awesome
Is it on top of Seonodae?
I can't see the stamp box.
The view to the left from the Seonodae stairs.
Even though it's hot, it's really awesome.
I'm glad I came.
Instead of going to Gahyeonsan Mountain in the morning.
I've already walked over 10,000 steps and climbed Paldalsan Mountain, which I've never been to before.
We looked around at the scenery, cooled off.
While I was trying to take a picture of my mom.
Someone next to me told me that there was a cicada on the floor.
She told me to be careful not to step on it, but my daughter just grabbed it with her bare hands.
My daughter likes insects..????
Took a picture with 0.6 zoom
I took some pictures of the kids.
Two shot
Mom's picture again properly
The view is so amazing
After searching for the stamp location.
I read that it was in front of the information center, so I went down the mountain.
It's so hot because of the weather
Cicadas are crying everywhere.
I drank water at the mineral spring.
Wash your face once
Cicada clinging to a tree
I'm going to catch it with my bare hands
I'm not afraid at all
I came down from Paldalsan..
I don't have the energy to take pictures because it's too hot????
Go to Seojangdae Information Center
As soon as I saw the stamp box, I ran
Struggling to get a stamp
Hard at work..Naver walking directions
Take Seojangdae
It's similar to Jongno
I felt Jidong Market
Namsumun
Moving to find Namsumun
It's really big and wide
They said it would take 1.5 to 2 hours to get all the stamps
Arrived at 10am
Walking even after the afternoon????
Got a stamp from the stamp box next to the water gate
Shall we go to the museum?
