2017 King Jeongjo Tomb Parade Reenactment / 2017 정조대왕 능행차



From 23rd September Saturday to 24th September Sunday 2017,  a two-day parade will be held at different venues in three different cities.

First, Seoul trail.
Date & Time: September 23rd Saturday 08:30 am ~ 06:00 pm
Course : ChangDukGung~Baedari~Nodlesum Island-SiheungHangGung
(Total 21.2 km)

Second, Suwon trail.
Date & Time: September 24th Sunday 08:50 am ~ 06:40 pm
Course: GeumChunGuCheong~Suwon Complex Stadium~Yeonmudae
(Total 26.4 km)
HwaseongHangGung~DaehwangGyodong
(Total 5.9 km)

Third, Hwaseong trail.
Date & Time: September 24th Sunday 11:00 am ~ 04:00 pm
Course: DaehwangGyodong~Yoongreung
(Total 7.4 km)

I wanted to give a little detail about the parade and the history but the information in the official website seems to be not visible currently. I will update as soon as the site recovers.

Anyone is free to join the parade as the three cities,
Seoul-si, Suwon-si, and Hwaseong-si are collaborating to host the event successfully.

Some might complain about the traffic as the city officials are closing down certain lanes and roads for several hours to make road for the parade. I suggest you try to take the public transportation rather than your own car during two days.

The official website is
http://www.kingjeongjo-parade.kr/2017/?lang=en

And the exact schedule is given at
http://www.kingjeongjo-parade.kr/2017/program.html?c=seoul&lang=en

It is a very good opportunity to get to know of Korean culture and history and participate to become a true citizen of Seoul.

Hope to see you there.
