This is the 100th post in my blog! Thank You all of you for sending me all this nice postcards and covers with so many nice stamps!
On Monday I got a postcard from India and my first five postcards from South Korea.
South Korea (officially: Republic of Korea) is a country in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula bordering on North Korea. South Korea is a member of the UN and of the OECD. The capital of South Korea is Seoul.
One of the cards shows the North-East Pavilion called Banghwasuryujeong in the Hwaseong Fortress. It is above the pond Yongyeon being surrounded by a small garden.
The Hwaseong Fortress is the centre of Suwon (the provincial capital of Gyeonggi-do). The Fortress in surrounded by walls and it was built in the end of the 18th century at the behest of King Jeongjo (1752-1800). It was damaged in the Korean War and after the restoration it was designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.
With great stamp:
