One of the first local trips we took with the kids was to the Hwasung Fortress in Suwon. Suwon is located about 40 km south of Seoul, and it is about 20 minutes by car from my parents' place.
The fortress wall is huge and it takes about 2 hours to walk around the whole fortress. The fortress goes around the city of Suwon so you have a great view of Suwon city. We went there twice now. Once with the grandparents, Nicolas, Kaya and Saehee, and the last time we walked around about an hour with Marc.
During our first visit, the kids really enjoyed the royal guard ceremonies at the Hwasung Palace. Lots of royal soldiers entertained us with sword and archery demonstrations. Nicolas even got to shake hands with the King of the Palace, King Jeongjo. I thought the king was pretty handsome!
