puppet shows and other attractions. A variety of experience events will also

in 2020, and Suwon's framework plan was ranked first in 2022 Cultural
Competition.
From October 7, it's time for another landmark festival to make an appearance –

events and royal parade reenactment, which will run 59.2 km from Changdeokgung
