Munsusanseong Fortress

 
Description
This fortress was designated as the nation’s 139th Historical Place. During the late Joseon Dynasty. when the country was trying to protect itself from foreign powers, the fortress was used to drive off American and English warships. It was a strategic military base because it protects the country from enemies coming from the sea and stops them from going to Ganghwa Island, which is very close to Seoul. A battle took place here between the Korean and French soldiers during Byeonginyangyo (a battle with foreign invaders in the Byeongin year). The fortress was built in 1694, the 20th year of Sukjong's governance, to protect the Ganghwa Island from enemies. It is 6km in length and has three gates (East, West, and North) and a temple called Munsusa within it. The surrounding area has such beautiful scenery, especially in fall when the leaves turn red and yellow, that it is even called the "Geumgang of Gimpo". Standing on the top of the fortress you can see into North Korea.

Transportation
Bus: Take the Ganghwa bound bus from Sinchon and Incheon Bus Terminal to the Gimpo University (about twenty minutes).
Car: Take the road #48 to pass Masong and Gunha-ri to the Seongdong checkup point.

Mt.Samseongsan [Sammaksa Temple]

There are also some Buddhist cultural remains.

Mt.Soyosan [Jajaeam Retreat]


Description

Then in autumn, the beauty of the spring flowers is matched by that of the crimson foliage, which is why it is often referred to as the Sogeumgang or 'Little Mt. Geumgangsan' , of Gyeonggi. This is also a Buddhist site that is famous as the place where Saint Wonhyo achieved enlightenment. Moreover, the numerous amusement and convenience facilities such as snow-sledding hills, swimming pool, outdoor concert hall, and parking lot have made this site a great one-day travel course for urbanites. On the way up to the mountain's peak are the Cheongryang Waterfall and the 10m tall Wonhyo Waterfall whose cascading waters will refresh its viewers. The Jajaeam Retreat within the mountains is alegacy in itself as the temple built by Saint Wonhyo in the 14th year (645) of Queen Seondeok's rule during the Silla Era. Fresh spring water flows from inside the Iljumun Gate and past the rear side of the parking lot.

Galbi (Beef Ribs)




Seasoned beef ribs have been famous in Suwon City since 1956, when Hwachunok in Yeongdong Market, a traditional market, began to serve ribs seasoned with natural spices and roasted over a charcoal fire. The ribs are famous for their size and excellent flavor. The secret of Suwon beef ribs is the salt sued to preserve the unique flavor of the meat and produce an unadorned taste.

The greatest reason for the popularity of the ribs is not only the taste but also the ease of eating. Ribs are cut into long pieces and roasted so that diners can enjoy succulent mouthfuls.
