Weekly Photo Challenge – Treasure

This week’s photo challenge by the Daily Post is “Treasure.” We were excited for this challenge as it is a chance to show off some of Korea’s own treasures. Korea has over 300 National Treasures and UNESCO has also designated many of Korea’s Treasures as World Heritage Sites. We have had the opportunity to visit a few of them and can see why they are so special.

Suwon Hwaseong Fortress

To celebrate our 100th post, we wanted to feature a truly special place that we recently explored at length. A short subway ride out of Seoul on Line 1 will land you in the capitol of Gyeonggi-do, Suwon. We previously shared an Instagram Challenge, where we had you vote on the best picture. Ryan won with this stunning shot of the fortress wall.

Andong Weekend Trip {Day 2}

After a great experience staying at a traditional homestay, our hostess called a taxi for us and we said our goodbyes. The countryside was heavily laden with fog, so our ride to the Hahoe Village was quite dramatic. With limited visibility, the mystique of what was beyond our range of perception created a real anticipation for what was to come.
