Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, constructed by king Jeongio in 1796, is not only a result of filial piety of king Jeongio to his father, but also a combination of technology and nature.

Although Suwon Hwaseong is a famous korean heritage and also one of the UNESCO's world heritage, I have never been to Suwon Hwaseong before. Fortunately, I had a chance to visit Hwaseong as a part of school program. While looking around, I was soon intrigued by the fascinating scenery and historical significance of Hwaseong.

Among many things, what impressed me most was the King Jeongio's caring mind for the people. It is said that king jeongio cared a lot for the workers constructing Hwaseong. He gave cold water in summer and blankets to cover in winter. For the King's caring mind and specially invented machines, such as geojunggi and nokro, which were used to carry big stones - Hwaseong was completed seven years ahead of time what was planned originally! please visit Hwaseong, and learn more about it while enjoing beautiful scenery!!
