화성행궁
It was a temporary place where King Jeongjo stayed when he visited the tomb. It used to be used as a place where the vice-president or Yoo Soo used to work. It was built on the eastern foot of Paldalsan Mountain in 1789 (the 13th year of King Jeongjo's reign) after the construction of a new town in Suwon. It has 567 square cars, the largest size of Korean royal palaces. Japanese occupation, however, nangnamheon Japanese national culture and history of every facility excluding the extermination policy were destroyed. In the late 1980s, as a result of steady and active restoration campaigns by meaningful local citizens, the restoration project began in 1996, the 200th anniversary of Hwaseong Fortress, and the first stage of restoration was completed with 482 compartments and opened to the public in October 2003. In October 1789, King Jeongjo traveled to Hwaseong 13 times in 12 years until January 1800 (the 24th year of King Jeongjo's reign) after moving Hyeonreungwon, the tomb of his father's apostolic, and stayed there every time. It was designated as Gyeonggi-do Monument No. 65 and was elevated to a private level on June 8, 2007.

Dolmens of Paldalsan Mountain
팔달산지석묘군
The Paldalsan Dolmen Cluster is located on the hillside of Paldalsan Mountain to the left of Suwon City Central Library, and consists of four dolmens distributed across two sites. Dolmen No. 1 and 2 are located at 3m intervals on the southern slope of Paldalsan Mountain at an elevation of 80m. Dolmen No. 3 and 4 are located at 3m intervals, 50m northwest at an elevation of 120m. Most of the dolmens have capstones exposed above ground, with some supporting stones visible beneath them, making it difficult to determine their exact structure. However, Dolmen No. 3 has a 1.63m long and 1m wide capstone that has been moved sideways and buried in the soil, exposing the burial chamber. However, some believe that the wall stones forming the burial chamber served as supporting stones. Most of the capstones were made of granite. Judging from the current state of preservation, it is likely a foundation-type dolmen, but further excavation is necessary to determine its exact structure.
