Suwon is one of the main cities in the country, because of its large population, and because it is located only 30 km from the capital, Seoul, and is easily accessible by railway. The city is also famous in the tourist center because it contains dozens of protected historical monuments, as well as beautiful natural features that are rarely found anywhere else in Korea, because the urban development in the city took place in empty areas, and the pristine green areas remained outside the scope of human colonization. The city is characterized by its low prices that make it a favorite destination for groups of friends and families.
