Hwa-seong

Hwa-seong

I am amazed at Hwa-seong because it is so big and tall. It is very hard to see all of Hwa-seong. There are so many things to look and so big. But I like Hwa-seong because I respect Jeong -joe.
Jeong-joe was king in Joe-seon, one of the countries long ago. He finished building Hwa-seong in 1800. Do you know why he built Hwa-seong? He built Hwa-seong because he wanted to move his father's grave. Hwa-seong is a castle that defended the kingdom from enemies. He wanted to make it bigger. It was one of his dreams.
Hwa-seong is in Suwon. Suwon is in gyeonggi-do. Hwa-seong is a symbolof Suwon. Many people go Suwon to visit and to see Hwa-seong. If you pay,anyone can enter this historical and educational place. Circumference of Hwa-seong is 5,744m, and it width is maybe 390,000 pyeong. It is like a castle on a hill. It is good for learning history. Jeong-joe really wanted to move his father's tomb. Hwa-seong is big and tall so people who do not know historythink many people worked to build Hwa-seong . However Jeong-jak-yoeung, a scientist, made a machine called Geo-joong-gi. It was very comfortable to buildHwa-seong so this machine was important at that time. It helped Hwa-seong to be finished fast.
As you enter, if you go left you can see little Hwa-seong. Sometimes you can take Hwa-seong freight train there. If you go by train or on foot you can see Hwa-se-moon, Jang-an-moon, Chang-ryong-moon, and Pal-dal-moon. They are four big doors. You can see Hwa-seong in this order too. Jeong-joe rested at Hwa-seong for a long time. Hwa-seong is so big and tall so it is busy and loud.
After hundreds of years, the Hwa-seong remains a historical place. I felt Jeong-joe loved his father very much so I will respect my parents more and love them more than jeong-joe. I think jeong-jak-yoeung always thought of people first and helped people very much. He was a wise and smart scientist. Hwa-seong is a good place to learn history.
