Jeonpyeongje Reservoir

Jeonpyeong Reservoir is a water reservoir located in Maewoldong, Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, South Jeolla Province. The name "Jeonpyeong" appears on a memorial tablet dedicated to Heo Jae (Park Gwang-ok, 1526-1593), commemorating his legacy. It is said that Jeonpyeong Reservoir was created when Heo Jae, at the age of 43, diverted water from the south of Gaesan for agricultural purposes. In 1943, the reservoir was constructed to supply irrigation water to the agricultural areas of Maewoldong and Byeokjindong, and to prevent disasters. From 1999 to 2002, as part of a national park development pilot project, the reservoir, which had been neglected in the urban outskirts, was transformed into a recreational facility and a resting area.
An artificial island is located in the middle of the reservoir, with a wooden bridge connecting it, making it a great place for enjoying the scenery, exploring nature, and taking a leisurely stroll.
