Gwangjuho Lake Ecological Park

It is an ecological park created with themed sections such as a nature observation garden, nature learning center, grassy rest plaza, and waterside wetland on a 184,948 m² site near the lakeside of Gwangju Lake [光州湖]. Located about 30 minutes from downtown Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City, it is easily accessible for citizens, and since its opening in March 2006, it has been used as a nature ecology learning center for children and a resting space for citizens. Overall, it is a quiet and cool-feeling park, and unless the weather is cold, visitors can directly see ecological materials of flowers, animals, and plants. You can see themed flower gardens planted with 170,000 wildflowers of various colors such as royal azaleas, forsythias, Jasanhong, roses, royal azaleas, and hydrangeas, as well as a floating-leaved plant garden, waterside observation deck, rock garden, and about 3,000 trees including snowbell trees, Chinese quince trees, Byeokdodong, and maple trees. In addition, you can see the process by which various birds actually hatch and grow in the marsh. Wooden stairs were created between the metasequoia street trees on both sides.
