Yeomingak is a Jonggak, a house of bells, situated across the street from Hwaseong Haenggung Square. Similar in appearance to the Bosingak Bell in Jongno, Seoul, Yeomingak was built in 1796 during the establishment of Hwaseong Temporary Palace under King Jungjo's reign. Its creation aimed to bestow well-being upon the Suwon people and convey King Jungjo's intentions throughout the city.

Unfortunately, Yeomingak mysteriously vanished at some point. Though exact details remain unclear, it is believed to have been removed following orders from the Japanese Government General in 1911. However, there's a fortunate turn of events?visitors can now admire Yeomingak. It was meticulously restored on October 8, 2008, based on records from ‘WonHeng Ulmyo Jeongri Euigwae’ and Lee Hwee-pyeong's 'Hwaseongyilgi.' These historical records comprehensively documented all constructions and events related to Suwon Hwaseong.

Yeomingak serves as the location for the annual New Year's Eve bell tolling ceremony. This ceremony, held on the night of December 31, marks the beginning of the New Year.
