Lovely Runner & Winter Sonata Day Trips
Separate Seoul return trips for Suwon’s streets and Nami Island. Check local connections rather than treating both as one circuit.
No verified whole-trip total is published. Add each place’s admission, meals and return transport; accommodation, flights and vehicle hire must be priced separately.
Suggested arrival times, not opening hours or booked departures. Check the linked place’s visiting conditions before setting out; skip a closed stop.
Day 1Suwon — run, Sol, run
10:00
1. Haenggung-dong →The official Lovely Runner walk connects Haengnidan Street, Haenggung-dong Mural Village, Hwahongmun and Banghwasuryujeong. Use the official short route as a spine and choose one café or shop, rather than treating every private façade as a set.
Area access: Public streets remain open; cafés, shops and individual attractions set their own hours (2026-09-11)
Business hours vary by shop.

Outdoor access: The gate exterior and stream walk are open public space; attached heritage facilities may keep separate hours (2026-09-11)
The outdoor gate and stream path are publicly accessible.
