Uiwang (의왕시) is a small city in southern Gyeonggi Province, forming part of the ring of satellite cities around Seoul. Wedged between Anyang and Suwon and backed by the low peaks of the Gwangju mountain range, it is largely residential while also offering easy access to nearby parks and trails. Forested slopes like Baegunsan and Moraksan frame the city, while reservoirs such as Baegun Lake and Wangsong Lake include lakeside roads and walking paths that are used for short outings from the Seoul Capital Area.
