This is a 3D digital asset of Janganmun Gate and Paldalmun Gate at Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon, created in 2024 through detailed measurement using broadband 3D scanning equipment.

Janganmun, the north gate, and Paldalmun, the south gate, were both built in 1794 as part of the fortress's four main gates. Janganmun’s name means “Gate of Perpetual Peace,” while Paldalmun’s name means “Gate Leading in All Directions.” These gates played significant roles in the fortress's history and design.

In traditional Korean fortresses, the south gate typically served as the main entrance and exit. However, for Hwaseong Fortress, Janganmun, the north gate, took on the role of the main gate, as the king traveling from the capital would encounter it first. Paldalmun, meanwhile, connected roads to the southern regions of the Korean Peninsula and facilitated trade and market activity in its vicinity.
