Gyeonggi Province capital 30 minutes south of Seoul by metro — anchored by Hwaseong Fortress (UNESCO World Heritage 18th-century walled city) and the global headquarters of Samsung Electronics. The Hwaseong walled old town and Yeongtong (the modern commercial district near Samsung) are the typical anchors. South Korea has no formal DNV; 90-day visa-free for many western passports. The structural draws are Seoul-adjacent rail access at meaningfully sub-Seoul pricing, deep Samsung-corporate employment density, and the UNESCO fortress walking circuit.
