Photographed at Suwoncheon-ro, Buksu-dong, 팔달구, Suwon-si in January 2024
Along Suwoncheon-ro in Buksu-dong, Suwon, the historical Hwaseong Fortress wall rises above winter-bare trees, its stone structure and tile-roofed watchtower standing sharp against a cloudy January sky. Built between 1794 and 1796 under the direction of King Jeongjo, Hwaseong is a UNESCO World Heritage site that encircles the heart of Suwon. Pine trees add a dark, evergreen presence to the landscape. This quiet winter setting strips away the softening green foliage of summer, revealing the raw engineering and military precision of eighteenth-century Korean architecture. The ancient stones tell a story of careful preservation that spans across several centuries.
