The Suwon River, which used to flow through the Buksumun Gate (or Hwahongmun Gate) floodgate, still flows through the floodgate, and roads in the past are still used as an important part of Suwon's road network. The construction of the fortress was motivated by political and economic purposes, not military purposes, and by the king's filial piety to his father. Therefore, this fortress can be said to symbolize "hyo," a part of East Asian philosophy, so it has spiritual and philosophical values in addition to cultural ones.
