Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are widely regarded as the best times to visit Hwaseong Haenggung Palace in Suwon. During these seasons, the weather is generally mild and pleasant, which provides a comfortable experience for exploring the historical site. Spring brings with it the blooming of cherry blossoms and other flowers, creating a picturesque setting for visitors. The palace grounds are particularly beautiful with the vibrant colors of spring, and there is often a festive atmosphere as many cultural events and festivals take place during this season.
Autumn is equally favorable with its clear skies and cool, crisp air. The fall foliage presents a breathtaking backdrop of red, orange, and yellow leaves, making it an ideal time for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers. Additionally, the Chuseok holiday, also known as Korean Thanksgiving, usually occurs in September or October, offering a chance to experience traditional Korean culture with various performances and reenactments occurring at the palace. Visitors during autumn can enjoy the comfortable temperatures and engaging cultural experiences without the heavy tourist crowds often found in the summer months.
