Hwaseong Haenggung(Temporary Palace)

Hwaseong Haenggung(Temporary Palace)

Hwaseong Haenggung, Historic Sites No.478, was built at the eastern foot of the Paldal Mountain in 1789, the 13th year of King Jeongjo, for establishing Suwon as a new county. It had been used as the Suwon government office and Detached Palace. The detached Palace was finally completed by expanding Hwaseong Haenggung from 1794 to 1796, the 18th to 20th year of King Jeongjo. King Jeongjo who was extremely filial stayed in Hwaseong Haenggung while he was visiting the tomb of Crown Prince Jangheon, also known as Crown Prince Sado, where was named Hyeollyungwon, is currently called Yungneung, 13 times. It was the largest scale and most beautiful Detached Palace at the time of construction because this had consisted of almost 600 rooms and taken shapes such as the main palace. However, most of the structures apart from Naknamheon was destroyed by the policy to obliterate Korean culture and history in Japanese colonial era. Local people who have wills organized the Committee of Restoration and Repair in the end of 1980s and did restoration campaign steadily and actively so that the Restoration Construction started in 1996. Finally, the first step of restoring Hwaseong Haenggung was completed and opened to the public on October 2003.

The Jang Yong Yeong Guards Ceremony

The Jang Yong Yeong Guards Ceremony

The Jang Yong Yeong Guards Ceremony is keeping guards Hwaseong Haenggung where King Jeongjo had stayed and showing the practice of the guard. The Guards Ceremony which had been held in Suwon Hwaseong Fortress 210 years ago is magnificently revived in Hwaseong Haenggung. If the Royal Guards Changing Ceremonies in front of Daehanmun Gate, the main gate of Deoksugung Palace, and Gwanghwamun Gate, the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, are representative of Seoul, so Jang Yong Yeong Guards Ceremony is the unique cultural product representing Suwon.
