8 years ago, the 3 km long road stretch from Mangpo station (of YeongTong) to Suwon Bus Terminal (and then to Suwon Railway Station) had only fields and almost no building on left-hand side of road.

8 साल पहले इस शहर के (यंग-थोंग के) मांगपो मेट्रो स्टेशन से सुवन बस टर्मिनल तक की सड़क (जो आगे सुवन रेलवे स्टेशन पहुँचती है ) के बाएँ तरफ  सिर्फ खेत दीखते थे |
