Hwaseong Fortress was the official fortress of the city of Suwon during the tail end of the Joseon Dynasty. The fortress offers some nice scenic views. 

Aside from walking the fortress grounds, you can try your hand at traditional archery (optional) or take a tour of the fortress grounds in a unique trolley. The trolley design was inspired by the royal vehicle King Gojong used. 

After Hawseong Fortress, you will make a 40-50 minute drive to your final destination, Gwangmyeong Cave. 

Gwangmyeong Cave is an old mine that opened in 1912 that produced Gold, Silver, Bronze, Zinc, and other minerals for over 60 years. The mine was closed in 1972 due to environmental reasons. 

For a period of 30 years, it was used as a storage space for shrimp. The cave was purchased by the city of Gwangmyeong in 2011 and open to the public as an amusement park of sorts.
