About

Seoho Park (Seoho Lake) is a historic waterfront park built around Chungmanje, an artificial irrigation reservoir constructed when King Jeongjo of Joseon built Hwaseong. In recognition of its historical value, Chungmanje was listed as the first World Heritage Irrigation Structure in Korea. Hangmijeong Pavilion, built in the late Joseon period, sits on the lakeside, adding a quiet charm, and it is famous for the beautiful cherry blossom paths blooming in spring and the sunset coloring the lake around dusk.

It is an attraction where you can observe various migratory birds that visit each season and the waterside ecology by walking along the trail created around the lake and the Samnam-gil course.
