Suwon is a city in the Gyeonggi province (the same province as Seoul). Suwon is known for its historical sites, especially the Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The fortress was built by King Jeongno, as he planned to move the capital city to Suwon. The fortress includes several large gates.
