 palace, interesting place, draw only border, historic landmark, historical building

Haenggung, meaning temporary palace, is a palace built within the walls of Hwaseong to house King Jeongjo when he was away from his palace in Seoul. When he was not in residence it was used by his delegated official as a base of government. Haenggung was used for a 60th birthday party for King Jeongjo's mother, elderly citizens' feasts and national exams.

Haenggung is a collection of 22 buildings, excluding the servants' quarters, arranged in an approximately rectangular layout at the eastern foot of Paldalsan, the small hill on which the western side of Hwaseong stands. The entrance to the palace from the centre of town is the main gate, Sinpungnu, known as Jinnamnu when it was constructed in 1790 but renamed five years later under King Jeongjo's orders.

Next to Haenggung, built in 1801, is Hwaryeongjeon, a shrine housing the portraits of kings, which was constructed in the first year of King Sunjo's reign and according to the instructions of King Jeongjo.
