Station access
Using this station: what to check
- 1
Suwon Station
Set Hwaseong Haenggung Palace as your destination before leaving the station. Suwon serves mainline trains and subway Line 1 and the Suin–Bundang Line. If you booked a return train, save its departure station and service type now.
- 2
Suwon Station AK Plaza / Maesan Market
Suwon Cultural Foundation distinguishes the Suwon Station AK Plaza stop across from Exit 7 from Maesan Market at Exit 9. Its access guide also lists the Novotel side at Exit 4 and Suwon Station Transfer Center. Match the exact stop name and direction in your live route; no single exit suits every bus.
- 3
Hwaseong Haenggung Palace
Before boarding, check the direction and the arrival stop shown in your route, such as Hwaseong Haenggung or Paldal-gu Office–Hwaseong Haenggung–Suwon Catholic Sanctuary. The official guide’s roughly five-minute walk is from the arrival stop to the palace, not the bus wait or journey from the station.
- 4
Returning to Suwon Station
Search a new route from the place where you finish. The return stop is not necessarily the same name or bus line on the opposite side of the road. For a booked train, allow for bus waits, road delays and the walk to your platform inside the station.
