Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, hosts the Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival every autumn. The festival’s main event is the “King Jeongjo’s Royal Parade,” a reenactment of King Jeongjo’s procession to pay respects to his father Crown Prince Sado’s tomb. This spectacular event features over 4,000 participants in traditional Joseon-era costumes marching along a 59km route. The “King Jeongjo’s Dasobangwa” program, offering a taste of royal court cuisine served for the Banquet of Lady Hyegyeong-Gung Hong, is especially popular among international tourists. Additionally, the festival includes fortress-building experiences, night tours, and various reenactment events and performances, all linked to Hwaseong Fortress, Suwon. 

◎Hwaseong Fortress, Suwon
This planned city was built by King Jeongjo during the Joseon Dynasty. It is considered a pinnacle of Korean fortress culture, incorporating the advanced technologies of its time.

Yeonmudae Post is located inside Suwon's Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Situated on a relatively high hill between Changryongmun (the east gate of the fortress) and Hwahongmun (a north floodgate), Yeonmudae is an excellent military observation post with sweeping views of the inside of the fortress. After the fortress was completed in 1796, Yeonmudae was used as a training ground for troops for over two centuries, where they learned fighting skills involving swords, spears and arrows.

At Yeonmudae, visitors can learn archery while wearing traditional military attire; the fortress also offers a wide array of performances for visitors to appreciate traditional Korean culture. Yeomudae is included in the Suwon City Tour course.

Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion, officially called Dongbukgangnu Pavilion, was built in 1794 during the construction of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. It sits atop a hill east of Hwahongmun Gate and offers beautiful views of the surrounding scenery. For this reason, the pavilion received the nickname Banghwasuryujeong, meaning a pavilion where one can "find flowers and stroll among willow trees." The pavilion was once damaged due to flooding and reconstructed in 1848, followed by continuous recovery and preservation efforts. In 2011, the pavilion was designated as Treasure No. 1709. Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion is evaluated as one of the most original architectures in Hwaseong for its unique composition and roof design that offer a different look depending on the viewer's angle. Known to be the spot where King Jeongjo would stop by to rest on his way to Hwaseong Fortress, the pavilion offers a bird's-eye-view of Yeonmudae Post to the east and Janganmun Gate to the west with Paldalsan Mountain in the background.
