Abastion, called chi in Korean, was a structure projecting outward from a fortress wall, which was designed to attack approaching enemies from the side. The name chi comes from the Chinese character for pheasant, because pheasants are good at hiding and peeping.
Hwaseong Fortress has a total of 10 bastions.
The Eastern Bastion II was built between the Eastern Artillery Bastion and the Beacon Tower. Though the walls on both sides of this bastion have maintained their original appearance, the bastion collapsed in the early 20th century and was reconstructed in 1979.
