Suwon

I work in Suwon on Mondays and Fridays. Right outside my workplace is this very interesting plaza.

Here is a view of the columns that create a pathway toward the bridge and surround a pyramid thing. Each of the columns has a bird perched on it.

Here is a close-up shot of the pyramid and you can see the bridge behind it. It's an overpass for people.

As you walk over the bridge, you come upon a giant sundial.

Looking back at dusk. You can see the tower-like structures. The whole thing has a little "fortress" design mixed in with a lot of ancient symbolism. Suwon has a couple of fortresses, so I understand that. But I don't understand the pyramid, columns with birds, or the giant sundial.

I checked and the sundial was accurate.
