The Suwon Hwaseong City Wall is 5.52 kilometers long and is equipped with various military facilities that cannot be seen in other cities. A female wall was built above the city wall with multiple shooting ports, which could not only protect itself, but also monitor and attack the enemy. There are gates on the four sides of the city: the north gate is called Chang'an Gate, the south gate is called Bada Gate, the east gate is called Canglong Gate, and the west gate is called Huaxi Gate. There is a stream flowing through Suwon Fortress, and a water gate is set up where the stream meets the city wall. There are seven arched water gates for the stream to flow through, and a pavilion called Hwahongmun is built on top of it.

It is considered the most scientific among Korean city walls. of city walls. In particular, both stone and bricks were used when building the city wall. Its structure can not only defend against enemy bows and spears, but also can fire cannons at the enemy, which is very excellent.

Introduction Located in the sea area of ??Sammeebong, Seogwipo City, it is not difficult to find a strange rock standing 20m high and 10m wide, even if it is an independent rock , some people call it Jiangjun Rock. The formation of independent rocks is mainly caused by the condensation of lava from volcanic eruptions. Not far away are beautiful islands such as Tiger Island and Mosquito Island. The rapeseed fields in spring and the reeds in autumn add to the charm of Independence Rock. The sunset on Tiger Island watched from the Independence Rock is even more beautiful! While watching the Independence Rock from a close distance, you are also facing the sea.

In the drama Dae Jang Geum, Lee Young-ae also faces this sea and decides to practice medicine.

The Zhenji Cave

However, since this attraction has not yet been fully developed, transportation is not very convenient.
