The Suwon Hwaseong Haenggung night opening, known as 'Dalbit Hwadam,' offers visitors a chance to experience the palace's beauty under night lights, featuring attractive photo zones. This event runs from May 1 to November 1, 2026, every Friday to Sunday and on public holidays, with viewing hours from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM.
Admission for the Hwaseong Haenggung night opening is 2,000 KRW for adults, 1,500 KRW for youth and military personnel, and 1,000 KRW for children. Free admission is granted to those wearing Hanbok, children under 6, seniors over 65, and individuals with disabilities. While parking is available at locations like the Suwon Hwaseong Museum parking lot, public transportation is recommended due to potential congestion during weekends and events. Notably, on Chuseok (September 25, 2026), Hwaseong Haenggung offered free admission all day.
Bloggers suggest using smart non-face-to-face ticket kiosks for entry during the night opening, highlighting that the palace becomes even more stunning once illuminated after sunset. The Suwon Hwaseong Media Art Show takes place at Janganmun and Hwaseomun, with Janganmun screenings lasting 15 minutes at 00 and 30 minutes past each hour from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and Hwaseomun screenings at 7:30 PM, 8:30 PM, and 9:30 PM for 35 minutes each. Some visitors recommend a route that includes viewing the Janganmun media art, then Hwaseomun, followed by the Hwaseong Haenggung night opening.
