View original description
Changnyeongmun Gate, the eastern gate of Hwaseong Fortress, is similar in shape and size to Hwaseomun Gate to the east. Something to take note of is the nameplate carved into the wall left of the gate. While the names on the polished granite at the other three main gates have become obscure over time, the nameplate at Changnyeongmun Gate is still clearly visable.
Visitors also explore Hwaseong Fortress Tourist Trolley (화성어차), Flying Suwon (플라잉 수원) and Yeonmudae (Dongjangdae) (연무대 (동장대)) near this location.
