Event Venue A walking path along the fortress near the Changnyongmun Gate
Program Overview

In this place, you may feel that past glorious moments have come back as if real. As you take steps along the walking path along the fortress, the moonlight shines warmly on the fortress. The splendid traditional patterns adorn the space beautifully and time seems to stop in silence.

The fancy patterns reflected on the path lead the audience to the excursion parade of King Jeongjo to the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. The beautiful scene magnifies the glory of the past, and moments of the feast celebrating the 60th and 80th birthday are reproduced in harmonious media art. Watching the last moment of the artwork, you will move to "Jijidae (a hill of slowing down foot)," the moonlit uphill path. The harmony of lights and music delivers the farewell of King Jeongjo with his father, Crown Prince Sado, and the audience finishes the journey by sharing the piety and devoted heart of King Jeongjo.

Event Venue A walking path along the fortress near the Changnyongmun Gate
Program Overview The breeze gently shakes the landscape over the trees that feel sorry for the sunset, once sitting on the shining wooden chair, going down behind the Paldal mountain. The sound wakes up little lights that start to dance a dance of light one after another.
