Introduction

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.
