Suwon ｜ as a sacrifice to the Huacheng Palace, see the means of Zhengzu and the spirit of North Korea

If you have watched Dae Jang Geum, The King and the Clown, and Lee Sun, you should be familiar with the scenery of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. This Jeongjo palace, built 230 years ago, has appeared many times in film and television works. In addition to its well-restored condition, it is also large in size. The 5.7-kilometer-long city wall surrounds Suwon and covers an area of ​​130 hectares, which is about the size of 13 major dome parks. The story begins with Jeongjo's father, Crown Prince Sado. Although he was the crown prince, he was involved in party disputes and ultimately died in a granary before he ascended the throne. After King Jeongjo ascended the throne, he moved his mausoleum to Yongneung, and then built Suwonseong and Hwaseong palaces for the purpose of worship. The explanation given to the outside world was to show filial piety, but in fact, there was serious factional strife in Hanyang at that time, and Jeongjo wanted to make Suwon a first-class city like Hanyang. He also offered a ten-year tax exemption to encourage people to move there. There is a 600-year-old tsukiya tree in the palace. It was preserved when the palace was built and remains so today. Backed by Badashan Mountain and surrounded by plains, the entire city was planned according to Feng Shui and was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1997. A separate kitchen was restored based on the ruins. It was responsible for the royal meals and sacrificial offerings. The birthday banquet held by King Jeongjo for his mother was also recreated here. More than 70 kinds of food were displayed on the food table, which shows the generosity of the royal family. Finally, let’s talk about Hwanyeongjeon. The wood color here is maintained without too many paintings. The portrait of King Jeongjo is enshrined in the hall. At that time, it was believed that the king would come back to play after his death, so Hwanyeongjeon was built on the far right side of the temporary palace so that King Jeongjo could "come back to play" at any time. This also shows the belief logic of Korea at that time. 📍Address: 320-2 Yeonghwa-dong, Jangan-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea 🚗Transportation: Take Subway Line 1 to Suwon, and transfer to Bus No. 11 or 13 at Exit 4. #2月好地方2025
