Why it’s a good place to walk

Jisan Saetgang eco park is a wetland park in Jisan-dong, right in the city of Gumi. The scenery changes with the seasons: a cherry blossom road in spring, a lotus colony in summer and many kinds of migratory birds in winter.

If you like to walk, start with the yellow-earth barefoot path (황토 맨발걷기길) — beginners can try it without worry. The park also has a whooper swan couple sculpture (큰고니 부부 조형물), photo spots and facilities, so it is a good place to stroll and take a break.

The nameIn Korean, saetgang (샛강) means a small stream that branches off a larger river.

    These are sculptures, not live birds. The two face each other with a small yellow bench between them.

  2. Cherry branches glowing white under the lights; below them, a line of blossoms along the water, lights reflected on the surface and a deep-blue night sky

    You can see the cherry blossom road from late March to mid-April.

  3. A lotus-covered channel of water and grassy banks, with apartment blocks far beyond a line of trees
