Re-enacting criminals in the Joseon period.
Suwon Hwaseong Fortress was constructed by the 22nd king, King Jeongio, of the Joseon dynasty. His father, the Crown Prince, had been the victim of faction struggles in the court and by the order of his father, the king, put in a rice chest where he died. He moved the tomb of his father and constructed the fortress and palace.
Haenggung palace was built as a temporary residence for King Jeongio for when he visited his father’s tomb.
