Suwon Hwaseong is the 22nd Dynasty Dynasty King Jeongjo, in order to mourn his father, the second son of Youngjo. Although he was canonized as the heir, he was excluded from the faction struggle and failed to ascend to the throne. He ended his life in the rice cabinet. He moved the remains of his father from Baebongsan Mountain in Yangju to be buried here, and moved the eup city near Hwasan Mountain to its current location at the foot of Paldal Mountain in Suwon, and built Suwon Hwaseong Fortress.

Trip.com User: The water is so big that it takes about two or three hours to tour it all, so I visited the course to tour half the way !! If you look at the Palda Gate and visit the Mars Palace and go up the stairs next to the parking lot, you can look around the Suwonhwa Castle outside !! Go to Seojiang University and watch the scenery and take a little picture. I recommend Ecos ㅎㅎㅎ It was so good ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I went to the sunset and it was so pretty And I went to the ** ribs house on the north gate and ate it. ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Rather, I'd rather go with a king ribs chicken It's better to chicken one person!

zavir: Hwaseong fortress in Suwon city is a beautiful place to visit. At night at attracts alot of visitors who come here to spend their time with kids and families. Colourful lights add the beauty of this fortress at night.

Hwaseong Palace is a palace where Jeongjo lived temporarily when he was traveling to Hyeonlong Garden. It is larger than any other palace and has a wide range of uses. It is also called the deputy palace of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Hwaseong Fortress was built in the eastern part of Paldal Mountain in the 18-20 years of Jeongjo, and it was usually used as the official residence of the Yushoufu (now the city hall). Hwaseong City is surrounded by four gate towers in turn, namely Canglong Gate, Huaxi Gate, Palda Gate, and Changan Gate. Due to its outstanding architectural style, it is not only a part of the world cultural heritage, but also a model for the construction of new Korean cities. .

Trip.com User: It's a great place to go on the first course to tour Suwonhwa Castle! I went to the last Wednesday and went in for free, and I originally had entrance fees. And some of you can explain, but I just looked around ~ There was a huge tree in front of the Mars Palace, like the tree in the picture !! The bathroom was clean and nice ~

무화과:): It's quiet and walking is so good. Recommended to date or walk with family
