I visited Hwaseong Fortress by field trip in afterschool class. We¡¯re looking for Hwaseong¡¯s beauty, historical importance, construction management and else. While I walk around Haenggung, I can see the King JeongJo¡¯s filial piety to his father, Sadoseja. Also, I can feel the JeongJo¡¯s love for the people. At Changryongmun, there is the plate where the people¡¯s names are written. Jeongjo wants to pay the labor of people.

In December 1997, Hwaseong Fortress was registered as UNESCO world heritage site. People around the world have known the significance of Hwaseong since then. And I can feel the foreigner¡¯s love for Hwaseong. There are many tourists from other countries who are touring the fortress as listening to the tour guide. Especially, there are a lot of Japanese and Chinese.

As Hwaseong Fortress is made for defense, there are many interesting traits on fortress walls. For example, there are small holes on the walls for archery. And ongseong of East and West gate are round shape to defend the enemy.
