Wolhwawon Garden is nestled in Hyowon Park of Suwon and features elements that are heavily influenced by Chinese culture. The garden was established as a result of a special memorandom of agreement (MOU) signed in 2003 between the provincial governments of Gyeonggi-do in Korea and Guangdong in China, in appreciation of the two city's cooperative relationship. It boasts traditional gardens and architecture, man-made lakes and waterfalls designed in the Cantonese style.
