From the visitkorea.or.kr: Introduction
Hwaseong Fortress is an impressive structure from the latter part of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) and the official fortress of Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do. The fortress, constructed from 1794 to 1796, was built as a display of King Jeongjo’s filial piety towards his father and to build a new pioneer city with its own economic power.
The fortress wall stretches for a total of 5.52km and has a great variety of military facilities that are hard to find anywhere else. Four gates face each of the cardinal directions—Janganmun (north), Paldalmun (south), Changnyongmun (east), and Hwaseomun (west)—and the seven-arch style Sumun gates straddle the point where the nearby stream reaches the palace. Above the Sumun gates is a pavilion called Hwahongmun.
Hwaseong Fortress was constructed under the guidance of Yu Hyeong-Won (1622-1673) and Jeong Yak-Yong (1762-1836), and is believed to have been constructed very scientifically. The fortress wall was built using Seokjae and Jeondol (bricks) and the holes between the bricks are just big enough to fire guns, arrows, or long spears through in case of an attack.
During construction of the fortress Jeong Yak-Yong invented ‘Geojunggi,’ which uses a ‘hwalcha’ (lever) to lift up heavy stones, greatly reducing construction time.
The Suwon Hwaseong Fortress went through many turbulent times and damage, and in the battle of June 25th, many of the facilities became so damaged that they were deemed irreparable. Even though the fortress restoration initiative (1975-1979) restored many of the sites to their former glory, Paldalmun to Dongnamgakru (an area 491 meters in length) has still not been renovated.
The fortress was designated as Historic Site No. 3 in January 1963, and in December 1997, it was designated a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. A variety of performances and events are held at the fortress every day and Suwon Hwaseong Cultural Festival takes place here in autumn.

Suwon Hwaseong Fortress....grand beauty that stood the test of time
한국의 세계유산 - 수원 화성
Hwaseong Fortress in Korea is often praised for its extraordinary beauty despite having served as a place to defend the country in ancient time.
Hwaseong Fortress... Korea's UNESCO World Heritage of the week... by Lee Unshin.
It's a structure that connects the mountains to the flatland, a wall of stones that protects a village, a military stronghold that guarded a kingdom.
This is Hwaseong Fortress.
Located in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do province, in the central part of the country, the fortress was built more than 2-hundred years ago during the Joseon Dynasty by King Jeongjo in a show of respect for his late father.
Straddling Mount Paldal , the circumference of the fortress is over 6 kilometers.
These majestic walls lead to four uniquely designed gates -- Janganmun , Paldalmun , Changnyongmun and Hwaseomun -- that guard what was once a village inside.
Beyond the gates, there are a number of facilities, including Hwaseong Haenggung palace, where the royal family took shelter during the war.
Hwaseong Haenggung palace is one of the most well known sites of the fortress. This is the very location where the globally popular Television series, 'Daejanggeum ,' or 'Jewel in the Palace' was filmed.
Eager tourists gather at the palace's front gate, where the Jangyongyeong guard ceremony is held.
The ceremony demonstrates 24 martial arts and is considered crucial heritage for its artistic and athletic features representing the traditional martial arts of the era.
Soldiers were stationed around Hwaseong Haenggung palace, practicing these moves to guard it during the Joseon Dynasty. Our performance showcases some of the ground martial arts among the 24 techniques, and my part involves dueling with real swords. The show is really popular with local and international tourists, especially during the weekend. With the overwhelming demand, we decided to make this a daily part of the program.
Visitors can also try their hand at archery practice, further helping them understand the significance of this remarkable place.
It's easy to get carried away by the recreational activities and the place's grand beauty, but like anything else that has stood the test of time, the fortress also reflects the scars of a bitter past.
Hwaseong Fortress has endured countless turbulences over the years. And it was most damaged during the Korean War. But the restoration initiative that started in the 1970s brought most of the fortress back to its former glory.
The north watergate, or Buksumun, is one of the few original structures in the fortress, and still controls the flow of water from the Suwocheon River.
The fortress is designated as a Unesco World Heritage Site... and is one of Korea's historical monuments.
These are grand designations, and fitting for such a historical structure, but for area residents, this enchanted place means something even more.
I come here often, at least three times a week, and every time I do, I feel as if the fortress is telling me a long-lost tale. I walk around peacefully, I get to appreciate both nature and historical beauty of the site. To me, it's more than a cultural treasure, it's almost part of my life, and what keeps me grounded every day, you know?
Built to honor a beloved parent and defend the nation, and now treasured as a sanctuary, the captivating Hwaseong Fortress... is sure to be adored as one of Suwon's main attractions for years to come.

About Su-won Hwaseong World Cultural Heritage Family
❑Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon-si
Hwaseong Fortress was constructed as an act of filial devotion by Jeongjo, the 22nd king of the Joseon Dynasty (1392~1910), and to strengthen his power, eradicate party conflict, and fortify the southern area of the capital. Construction was started along Mt.
Paldalsan in January 1794 and completed in September 1796 under the supervision of Chae Jae-gong, a former minister and the magistrate of Yeongjungchubu County. During construction, equipment such as the Geojunggi, a type of traditional Korean crane, and potters wheels were developed and used to transport and assemble large stones.
The fortress suffered partial damage during Japanese colonial rule and the Korean War, but most of its original features have been restored with the help of the Hwaseong Seongyeokuigwe, the construction archive published in 1801 after the fortress was completed.
The fortress sprawls over both flat and hilly terrain, something seldom seen in neighboring China and Japan. It is designed to serve political and commercial as well as military functions and is a fine example of oriental fortresses.
Construction of Hwaseong Fortress
❑ Historical background
King Jeongjo built a new city called Suwon Hwaseong palace, and Hwaseong Fortress by mobilizing all the national resources for his act of filial devotion to his father, Sadoseja, who had died at the hands of Yeongjo, the 21st king of the Joseon Dynasty and King Jeongjo's grandfather.
❑ Supply of goods
To construct Hwaseong Fortress, stones, bricks, and wood were needed, so new roads were built before construction to make it easier to transport such materials. In addition, a new type of cart was invented, major materials were standardized, and new standards were prepared for loading carts with goods. All this was possible thanks to the influence of Silhak, or practical learning, a new school of thought gaining ground at the time.
❑ Geojunggi
Yagyong Jeong devised this equipment for safer and easier fortress construction. Considering the level of technology at the time, the reason why it only took two and a half years to complete the construction with comparatively low costs was that from the planning stage, the management and wisdom of Silhak scholars like Bangye Hyeongwon Yu and Dasan Yagyong Jeong were utilized, while various traditional appliances from a coolie rack to Geojunggi, a type of a crane, were used.
Historical meaning of Hwaseong Fortress
❑ The city of Silhak
The new town, Suwon, which was developed by King Jeongjo as planned, was greatly influenced by Silhak, a new type of education in the 18th century. Silhak was practical learning that could help improve the life of the people, agriculture, business, and science. Thanks to equipment developed under the influence of Silhak, during construction of the Hwaseong Fortress labor and material costs were saved and the construction period was shortened.
❑ The Hwaseong Fortress for the people
King Jeongjo's concern for the people can be seen through the Fortress. He changed the design so as not to destroy houses of the people, paid for their labor, provided medicine, and suspended construction when the weather became too hot or wages were not paid.
❑ Features of the facilities in the Hwaseong Fortress
Ongseongs (small fortresses) were built for each of four main gates (Paldalmun, Janganmun, Changnyongmun, and Hwaseomun) to protect them and Chi also projected from its walls to repel enemies. Ammun (secret gates) were installed in key spots in case of emergencies, Sumun (floodgates) were built in the south and north, and two Jangdae (command posts) were constructed in the east and the west. Poru (sentry towers) were set up to house canons and Bongdon (beacon towers) was installed on the walls.
❑ Realization of the system of using real names
In the Hwaseong Seongyeok Uigwe (Archives of the Construction of Hwaseong Fortress) discussion process, public documents, opinions and orders from the king, name of construction participants, days to work, location and features of each facility, and costs are presented in detail. Pictures were used for the parts that could not be explained clearly in writing.

Korea Pt 27: Hwaseong Fortress
The architecture of the fortress combines traditional Eastern and Western styles, which makes it very distinctive from other Korean Fortress(Or castle).
Four gates
The fortress has four gates, Hwaseomun (west gate), Janganmun (north), Paldalmun (south) and Changnyongmun (east). The Janganmun and Paldalmun gates are the larger of the four main gates and resemble Seoul's Namdaemun in roof design, and stone and wood work.(Janganmun is bigger than Namdaemun. Janganmun is the most enormous gate in Korea.) Paldalmun was burned down during the Korean War and was reconstructed in 1975. Janganmun survived destruction and is from the original construction of the fortress. Both the north and south gates are topped with two-story wooden pavilions while Hwaseomun and Changyongmun, the west gate and east gate respectively, had one story pavilions. The north gate's grand design reflected King Jeongjo's desire to move the capital to Suwon. The four main gates are encircled by miniature fortresses which housed guards to protect the gates.
Wall
The wall is 5.74 kilometers in length and four to six meters high, originally enclosing 1.3 square kilometres of land. On flat terrain the wall was generally built higher than wall that was on mountainous terrain, an incorporation of terrain into the fortress defenses which was rare in China and Japan. The parapets are made of stone and brick, like most of the fortress, and were 1.2 meters in height.
Although the southern section has not been restored, the three-quarters that remains is well maintained and can be hiked on foot.
Wall structures
Originally, there were 48 facilities along the wall of the fortress but seven of them have been lost to flooding, wars, or wear. The fortress features a floodgate, four secret gates, four guard platforms, two observation towers, two command posts, two archer's platforms, five firearms bastions, five sentry towers, four angle towers, a beacon tower and nine bastions.
There were three watchtowers but only two remain, both three-stories with distinctive wooden pavilions on top and embrasures for guns and lookouts. The beacon tower had five chimneys to make different signals with smoke or fire. When one was lit it signaled peace, two meant the enemy had been spoted, three meant the enemy was approaching, four meant the enemy had made it into the city, and five signals lit meant that the fighting had begun.
History
Hwaseong Fortress was built over two and a half years, from 1794 to 1796. The architect was Jeong Yak-yong, who would later become a famous leader of the Silhak movement. Silhak, which means practical learning, encouraged the use of science and industry and Jeong incorporated fortress designs from Korea, China, and Japan and scientific knowledge into his plans. Adoption of brick as a building material for the fortress and the use of efficient pulleys and cranes also were the result of the influence of Silhak.
The fortress was also a response to the collapse of the Korean front line during Hideyoshi's Invasions of Korea. At the time, the dominant Korean fortress-building model was to make a simple wall for the city or town and a separate mountain fortress for the people to evacuate to in times of war. However, this fortress was built to include elements of a wall, defensive fortress, and town center. The four main gates were used as the gates for the town. The arrow-launching platforms built along ramparts with crenelleted parapets and battlements were elements of the fortress while the wall also held secret gates for offensive actions.
The fortress took 700,000 man-hours to build and cost the national treasury 870,000 nyang, the currency at the time, and 1,500 sacks of rice to pay the workers. In the past, government works were built with corvée labor, but in this case workers were paid by the government, a sign of Silhak influence.
King Jeongjo apparently built this fortress to prepare for a move of the capital from Seoul to Suwon. Suwon is strategically positioned to connect Seoul with the Yellow Sea and China. The king wanted to leave the fracticious strife of the court to carry out reforms and believed that Suwon had the potential to grow into a new and prosperous capital. To encourage growth, he ordered people to move to Suwon at considerable expense and exempted them from taxes for ten years. King Jeongjo also ordered public works, like educational facilities, for the city.
A white paper Hwaseong Seong-yeokuigwe (Records of Hwaseong Fortress Construction) was published in 1800, shortly after Jeongjo died. It was ten volumes and proved invaluable for the reconstruction effort in 1970 after the fortress had been severely damaged during the Korean War. The volumes were divided by subject. The first volume was about the plans for building, such as the drawing details and list of supervisors. The next six volumes detail the actual implementation of the building.
