Hyochang Park is an urban park that is home to the tomb of numerous Korean patriots and others who fought for Korea's independence in the past. It was originally built as a site for a Crown Prince's tomb but was moved during the Japanese occupation of Korea. After the defeat of Japan and the independence of Korea, the Crown Prince's remains stayed in their new location while patriots' remains were moved here.
