Hello! Here is the detailed information for ‘Temporary Palace at Hwaseong Fortress (Hwaseong Haenggung Palace) (화성행궁)’.

💡 Overview

A haenggung is a temporary palace where the king and royal family retreated to during a war. Hwaseong Haenggung Palace is the largest one of these, used by the Joseon kings since the time of King Jeongjo (r. 1776-1800). In addition to being used as a shelter during war, King Jeongjo also stayed here during trips to worship at his father’s tomb.

These days, the palace serves as a venue for many traditional cultural performances and activities.
