Korea hidden attractions _ Namhansanseong Fortress Trail Parking Lot Haenggung Palace

 

If the charm of Suwon Hwaseong is the beautiful castle road and cute cafes in the village,

The charm of Namhansanseong Fortress seems to be the large trees at the top of the mountain and the wide circumference path under the shade.

The trail lasts about 2 hours. Wear comfortable shoes for walking, and if you sweat a lot, it would be a good idea to bring extra clothes. 

There are many restrooms along the trail, but since the restrooms are on the mountain, there is no place to wash your hands. I think it would be a good idea to bring wet tissues. 

Park at the public parking lot at 11:00, walk Namhansanseong Course 1 for 2 hours, visit Haenggung Palace for 30 minutes, eat for 40-50 minutes,

It takes approximately 3 to 4 hours.

Namhansanseong Fortress parking lot

I arrived around 11 a.m. on Saturday and was able to park my car in the public parking lot after waiting for about 15 minutes. 

As I parked and headed toward the south gate, cars continued to pile up on the road. It seemed like there was a rush of traffic coming for lunch.

On Saturdays, you should come an hour before lunch time to be able to park in the public parking lot.

Secluded Namhansanseong Temporary Palace 

They say the place where the king stayed was called Haenggung.

There were a lot of people at Hwaseong Temporary Palace in Suwon, so there was no leisure time. 

You can enter Namhansanseong Temporary Palace by simply taking off your shoes. 

quaint wooden floor,

Look at the sky,

The wind is cool,

Feeling the smell of the floor of my grandmother’s country house,,,,

I just sat in the quiet for a while!!

Next to a large tree that would be found in a rural neighborhood

Because the sky is so pretty,,

It felt like I was standing in the past!!

It's pretty to see the old people's houses like this.

Namhansanseong Fortress Trail 

We chose course 1, which is a 3.8km walk for about 80 minutes.

The south gate, the starting point, looks like this.

As you enter the course, a wide road opens up,

There is also a lush forest path.

You can also walk along the walls along the main road.

I think the Namhansanseong restaurant is famous for its tofu.   

I parked at 11 o'clock, walked through the Dule-gil to Haenggung Palace, and felt hungry. 

There were many tofu restaurants here and there, but I wanted to eat mackerel,,,

I think it's the perfect place for a 2-3 hour walk and a meal.
