Suwon is the capital of Gyeonggi province, which surrounds Seoul, the current capital of South Korea. It is the country's only completely walled city (with the walls formed by Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site). During the Joseon Dynasty, King Jeongjo attempted to make Suwon the capital of Korea, but was unsuccessful.
