Hwagang is a planned city that has served as the capital of [[Haesan]] since its construction in 1972. It is home to all three branches of Haesan's government, hosting the [[National Assembly (Haesan)|National Assembly]], the [[Dalseongjeon]] (달성전, lit. Moon Sanctuary) the Presidential Residence of Haesan, Haesan's [[High Court]], and the prime Minister's residence at 7 Court Street. The city lies at an elevation of 1,119 m amongst the Maehwa Mountains and straddles the National Canal Zone, connecting the Hwa and Eun Rivers to the south with the Marchal river to the north.
