Explore its grandeur with four main gates facing each cardinal direction and two floodgates over the Suwoncheon flowing north-south. As a former military fortress for defense, from Hwaseong, you can behold a panoramic view of Suwon city. Experience the picturesque landscapes of the Hwahongmun gate and Dongjangdae under the dazzling lights on a dark night.

Interested in the history intertwined with Hwaseong? King Jeongjo, driven by the tragic death of his father Crown Prince Sado, moved his father's shrine to Suwon, the foremost esteemed place of his time. It was here, based on his filial devotion, that Hwaseong was constructed. Learn about King Jeongjo's sorrowful past and his remarkable achievements as one of the greatest fortresses of the Joseon era.
