Sunhan Goyangi
Sunhan Goyangi, whose name means gentle cat, is a small cat cafe in Cheoncheon-dong, Jangan-gu, northern Suwon, on the seventh floor of a building beside a fried chicken shop. The cafe doubles as a refuge for cats that were given up by their owners, and as the name suggests it keeps only calm, gentle cats. It is unusually relaxed in its rules: there is no age limit and no time limit, and visitors may bring their own food and drinks. Entry is charged per person, with lower prices for elementary school children and for middle and high school students. Up to three and a half hours of parking in the building's underground car park is free, but the ticket must be validated. The cafe opens at noon on weekends and in the afternoon on weekdays, closing at 8 PM.
