suwon

My second visit to Suwon. Many of the walls have been reconstructed and they've created a lot of green space in and around the fortress. It certainly is a pleasant sight.

Hwahong Gate allows the Suwon River to flow into the walled city.

Changan Gate is the biggest gate in all of Korea.

You cannot help but take notice of this gigantic church as it looms over the city like the Death Star. I am not sure by whom and when it was built, but its eclectic Gothic-esque architectural style and austere Protestant aesthetics suggest a recent construction and perhaps a koreanization of cathedral architecture.
