수원

UNESCO World Heritage fortress built in 1796 — 5.7km of walls encircling the entire old city. King Jeongjo's masterwork, incorporating every innovation in 18th-century military architecture.

The largest temporary royal palace in Joseon history — 576 rooms. King Jeongjo made annual pilgrimages here to visit his father's tomb.

The southern gate of Hwaseong, still standing at the center of modern Suwon. An ancient gate in a modern traffic roundabout — Korea in one image.

Contemporary art museum in a striking modern building next to the fortress walls — the old and new literally adjacent.
