Gwonseon-gu, Suwon: what to see and do
A quiet residential side of Suwon, where the sights are neighbourhood parks and lake paths, not monuments.
Known for
- Omok Lake Park
- Mugunghwa Dongsan garden hill
- Goryeom Park, a local walking park
What to do
Walk the lake and park paths the way locals do. For Suwon's big sights, go to Hwaseong Fortress in the neighbouring Paldal-gu.
Tip: Few foreign visitors come here, so pair it with Hwaseong Fortress, which is in the next district.
