Janganmun is the main north gate of Suwon Hwaseong, the UNESCO-listed fortress King Jeongjo built in the 1790s. For a few weeks each autumn, the Suwon Hwaseong Media Art festival projects moving paintings across its stone walls after dark.
Local tipThe festival runs in autumn (2026: Sep 19 – Oct 6, 6–10 pm, free). On other nights the gate is still lit up, and you can walk the fortress wall west to Hwaseomun.
Getting thereBus from Suwon Station to the Janganmun stop, about 20 min, or a 15-min walk north from Hwaseong Haenggung.
