The most beautiful library in Korea 📚
You must have already heard about the Coex mall and starfield library in Seoul. But do you know that the most beautiful library of Korea has opened this year in Suwon, a town 50 minutes away from Seoul via subway. Perfect to visit on hot summer day.
Starfield Suwon's library is a stunning space that combines modern design with a peaceful atmosphere, making it a must-visit for book lovers. With towering bookshelves and cozy reading nooks, it offers a wide range of genres for all ages.

Suwon @ Byeolmadang Library.
I only knew about the one at COEX in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, but I found out there's one in Suwon too.
Since I was going to Suwon anyway, I decided to visit the Byeolmadang Library at Starfield Suwon.
🚃 Take Line 1 from Suwon Station towards Seoul, get off at Hwaseo Station, just one stop away. Unlike COEX, this Starfield Library was wonderful 😆

A garden near Seoul that feels like it's overseas.
Let me introduce you to a dreamy garden that feels like it's overseas. Located within Hyowon Park in Suwon, the Chinese-style garden Wolhwawon creates a unique atmosphere that feels like a scene from a movie or as if you're in China. For those who want to experience the beautiful ambiance of an old garden where time seems to have stopped in Suwon, I highly recommend visiting Wolhwawon.

▪️Americano (₩4,000)
▪️Butler Croffle (₩6,000)
You can choose from three ice creams: vanilla, chocolate, and green tea. I picked green tea! The refreshing green tea ice cream, croffle, and soboro(?) go well together. Crispy, refreshing, and sweet~
💡A clean and calm atmosphere. The sunlight during the day is especially good.
It's good for a quick chat with friends, but there are also single tables and chargers, so it's also good for thinking and working alone.

Absolutely incredible
Among the places in Korea that foreign tourists most underrate! The Hwaseong Fortress is magnificent both day and night! We started at Sinpungnu and then we Hiked to Seonamammun (the secret gate) where the view was stunning. The atmosphere seemed to be a perfect balance of old traditions and contemporary city life. I highly recommend visiting since it is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
