Jemincheon Stream

About

Jemincheon Stream, which means 'saving the people,' is a stream that flows across the original downtown of Gongju. Since the Goryeo and Joseon periods, major government offices such as Gongjumok Gwana and Chungcheonggamyeong were located here, and in modern times, key facilities such as Gongju City Hall, schools, and medical centers were built around Jemincheon Stream, serving as the center of Gongju's history and life. Although it was once polluted due to the hollowing out of the downtown area, it has been reborn as an ecological waterway with clear water flowing through an ecological stream restoration project.

Now, walking trails have been created along Jemincheon Stream, and it is loved as a cultural center where history and modern sensibility coexist, with guesthouses converted from old hanoks, independent bookstores, unique cafes, workshops, and galleries. Feel the atmosphere of the old downtown and its new vitality at the same time.
