Admission Fee for World Cultural Heritage Site 'Suwon Hwaseong' Abolished Starting from the 7th

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The admission fee for the World Cultural Heritage site 'Suwon Hwaseong' will be abolished starting from the 7th.

On the 6th, Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province and the Suwon Cultural Foundation announced that the admission fee of 1,000 won for Suwon Hwaseong, which was charged to tourists who are not Suwon citizens, will be abolished from the 7th.

Suwon City previously amended the 'Suwon City World Cultural Heritage Hwaseong Operation Ordinance' to remove the regulations related to the Suwon Hwaseong admission fee.

Since August 2005, Suwon City has been collecting an admission fee of 1,000 won from tourists excluding Suwon citizens. Suwon citizens, children under 6 years old, and seniors aged 65 and over were allowed free admission.

Suwon Hwaseong is an open facility with a total length of 5.7 km that anyone can freely enter and exit. Due to practical difficulties in ticket sales and inspection, the decision was made to abolish the fee.

However, the admission fee for Hwaseong Haenggung Palace (1,500 won for adults, 1,000 won for soldiers and youth, 700 won for children) will be maintained as is.

A city official stated, "With this ordinance amendment, domestic and international tourists will be able to visit the World Cultural Heritage Suwon Hwaseong with much less burden," and added, "We will continue to expand cultural tourism content linked to Suwon Hwaseong to widely promote the value of Suwon Hwaseong."
