A Hwaseong Haenggung was a temporary palace where the king and royal family retreated to during a war. Hwaseong Haenggung Palace is the largest one of these, use by the Joseon kings since the time of King Jeongjo.

We walked slowly through the walls and visited the palace. Our guide, Tian, is very knowledgeable and teaches us about drama, history, and various aspects of Suwon Hwaseong. I definitely recommend going on the tour rather than going on your own!

Awesome day outside of Seoul exploring the fortress and walls from the Joseon dynasty. Our guide Nicole was amazing. It was the perfect half day trip.

Your continued support is sincerely appreciated and means a great deal to our team. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you even better in the future.
Matthew was a terrific guide, very informative on all things history. The fort was interesting and I really enjoyed the smaller palace which had physical displays showing a few aspects of royal life in a number of rooms. The area is also very beautiful. The final part of the trip - the martial arts display was excellent. It was a good half day.
