'Banghwasuryujeong' is famous not only in Suwon Hwaseong but also in all of Korea as an outstanding piece of architecture. It is not only for its military purpose but also as an architectural piece, which is very beautiful. The view of Suwon Hwaseong from here is very beautiful, as you can see both the inside and the outside of the castle.
