Gyeongin Ara Waterway Maehwa Garden

The Maehwa Garden in Incheon Metropolitan City is a space full of plum trees, a garden created around the theme of plum blossoms. It has various types of plum trees over 40 years old, and as befits a traditional space, pine and bamboo also grow here. The garden is decorated with traditional-style walls, pavilions, and a jar garden, making it a good place for a walk. This is the village where the birthplace of Geomyeo Yu Hui-gang was located, and it is said to have been created to preserve traces of that history when the Gyeongin Ara Waterway was built. Geomyeo Yu Hui-gang was a calligrapher born in Incheon Metropolitan City and is regarded as the greatest calligrapher after Chusa Kim Jeong-hui. Walking along the long plum blossom street, you pass Bulomun Gate, Kkotmaru Pavilion, and the village of Geomyeo Yu Hui-gang's birthplace, and you can also see a poetry monument with his own writing. In the Onggiwon of the rear garden of the Maehwa Garden, a jangdokdae with jars clustered together has been created, a place for storing and managing maesil, the fruit of the plum tree. From Seoul, you can reach Sicheon-dong in a little over an hour along the Gyeongin Ara Waterway past Geomam Station, making it a favored place to fully enjoy the spring atmosphere.
