Located in the city of Suwon, South Korea, it was designed as an emergency backup palace in the 18th century by King Jeongjo. Although most of the palace has since been destroyed and replaced with modern replica buildings, the walls, gates and towers are all original and ripe for exploring. Let's check it out!
