The Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon was built during the reign of King Jeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty. This place, where the essence of the castle architecture of the late Joseon Dynasty remains intact, has become a representative cultural property of Suwon City.
Suwon Hwaseong Fortress has the tomb and temporary palace of King Jeongjo the Great's father, and Hwaseong Fortress was built according to King Jeongjo's plan.
Every fall, various cultural events are held at Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon. Suwon Hwaseong Media Art Show is one of these events, and various works are displayed around Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, pleasing the eyes of citizens during the festival.
If you plan to visit Suwon in Korea, we recommend that you choose the time when the event is held in the fall.
Works using various light are exhibited around the promenade along the river around the Hwaseong Temporary Palace. We recommend visiting during the evening hours.
Since the works are displayed around the outdoor river, the event may be canceled in case of rain. If you visit in the evening on a clear day, you can see this beautiful feast of lights.
Suwon Hwaseong Fortress at night is another attraction.
There are also sections where digital media art shows are held according to time. The event changes every year, so it's a good idea to check the schedule in advance.
You can check the schedule of events on the following site.

It is a must-see that enriches the autumn nights of Suwon citizens. In fact, in autumn, not only the media art show, but also the reenactment of King Jeongjo's visit and various cultural performances are held intensively at this time.
This media art show is held twice in 2022, and year after year, the sights are getting more developed. In fact, in 2022, the event was held from the end of September to early November, and ended next year.
In particular, the media art performance centered on the Namsumun wall is popular as a spectacle as it shows the story of the history and origin of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress in compressed images.
In the surrounding malls, various street shops are open during this period. If you taste Suwon's famous beef and seasoned whole chicken, it is expected that your trip will be satisfying for both your senses of sight and taste.
I introduced the Suwon Hwaseong Media Art Show, currently in its second round, with photos. I think this event will be held in the fall of 2023, so if you travel to Suwon, I recommend you to check the schedule and enjoy this festival.
