Pyeongtaek City in Gyeonggi
Province has announced the selection of the "Pyeongtaek 8 Scenic
Spots," chosen by citizens both online and offline.
The Pyeongtaek 8
Scenic Spots include Sopung Garden, Agricultural Ecology Park, Baedari Eco
Park, Oseong Riverbank, Wonpyeong Reed Forest, Jinwi Stream Recreation Area,
Pyeongtaek Port, and Pyeongtaek Lake Tourist Complex.
Sopung Garden is a
waterside park established in 2013 in Gung-ri, Godeok-myeon, Pyeongtaek City,
Gyeonggi Province. Its name means "garden where smiles linger," and
it allows nature and people to coexist, offering opportunities to observe flora
and fauna while enjoying beautiful scenery from the picnic grounds.
Covering an area of 9,249 square meters, Sopung Garden is divided into four themed islands:
Hwaui Garden, Rainbow Garden, Light Garden, and "Jijibaebe" (cuckoo
sound) Garden. Visitors can appreciate distinctive landscapes during the day
and enjoy different night views illuminated by lights.
Following the
tree-decked walking trails, visitors will encounter lotus wetlands, sand
playgrounds, and bird-shaped poles scattered throughout, adding unique fun.

Ewha Garden features
traditional walls and relocated pear trees from the city's vanishing pear
flower orchards.
Rainbow Garden,
representing multiculturalism and diversity, features rainbow-colored and
nest-shaped sculptures, as well as climbing decks and rainbow bridges to add
enjoyment.
The Light Garden,
shaped like a Moebius strip and adorned with about 90 large and small spherical
landscape lights, is embellished with a small stream (spring of purification)
and time columns, enhancing Pyeongtaek City's symbolism and charm.
The compact
"Jijibaebe Garden" conveys the meaning of communication through
bamboo forests and communication pipes.
Furthermore, the
walking paths and green spaces, featuring various trees such as magnolia,
camellia, pine, and reed grass, along with patterned macmundo, viburnum, and
patterned reeds, totaling over 52,000 plants, are created with natural
materials like wood chips and volcanic rocks, embodying leisure and natural
beauty.
Taking a stroll
around the Sopung Garden, adorned with various themes to provide citizens with
a comfortable resting place, while enjoying the clear nature of Jinwi Stream,
could be a wonderful way to heal both body and mind.
