Spending your summer with green tourism

In Hwacheon County, Gangwon Province, you will find “pyeonghwa eui dam”, literally means dam of peace. The county is trying to make the region a tourism site under the two themes of “green” and “peace.”


A 37.5-ton-bell is located in the park south of the dam (2nd photo). Don’t be surprised if you see a jet, tanks and other military facilities in the waterside area. They are for display only. Those items have been put together to form a “Peace Art Park”.


Not everyone is allowed to enter the northern side of the dam. You have to get permission from the Korean military prior to your visit. The upper region of the Hwacheon dam is part of Bukhan River and also Paro-ho Lake. You won’t see a car there.
