Uiwang Baegun Lake Park: What to See and Do
Located in Hakui-dong, Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Baegun Lake is a representative lake park where you can enjoy beautiful scenery in all four seasons. Admission is free, and the well-maintained lakeside walking trails make it a popular spot for families and couples to stroll.
There are no operating hour restrictions, but for safety at night, it is recommended to use the sections where streetlights are on.
On weekends, busking performances and small-scale events are held, allowing you to enjoy culture and nature simultaneously. Especially in autumn, the lake scenery combined with autumn foliage is spectacular, and the Uiwang Baegun Lake Festival, held every late September, is greatly loved by Uiwang citizens and external tourists alike, with music performances, experience events, and even fireworks shows.
You can also ride paddle boats at Baegun Lake, which I recommend for family trips and couple dates.
Uiwang Wangsong Lake Park: Things to See, Do, and Date Ideas
Located in Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Wangsong Lake Park is an eco-friendly ecological park centered around Wangsong Lake, the largest artificial lake in the metropolitan area.
Admission is free, and the lakeside walking trails and bicycle paths are well-maintained, making it great for light walks or riding. There are no operating hour restrictions, but it is recommended to use sections with lighting at night.
This area is a migratory bird habitat, where you can observe various migratory birds and aquatic plants, making it popular for family outings and ecological learning experiences.
Around the lake, there are experience spaces such as rail bikes, railway museums, and ecological learning centers, making it a representative tourist destination in Uiwang where you can enjoy nature and culture at the same time.
Wangsong Lake Park: Cosmos Flower Fields & Pink Muhly Grass Hot Spot
In autumn, Wangsong Lake Park is a place where you can enjoy fall flowers such as pink muhly grass and cosmos.
The pink muhly garden, created along the walking path, presents an exotic landscape as pink reeds ripple between September and October. Admission is free, and you can visit during park opening hours to stroll along the flower path.
The afternoon is recommended as the most beautiful time when the red sunset light and pink muhly grass harmonize. It's a great spot for fall outings.
Wangsong Lake Park Rail Bike
The Uiwang Wangsong Lake Rail Bike is a unique lake experience facility in the metropolitan area, where you can ride over Wangsong Lake and enjoy panoramic views.
Although it moves by pedaling, it has an automatic assist device, so anyone can enjoy it without any burden. There are photo zones in the middle of the course, making it a popular spot for family and couple outings.
The 2025 Uiwang Baegun Lake Festival is Uiwang's representative autumn festival, where nature, art, and culture come together. From the Family Children's Song Festival to the Music Picnic, the closing performance with Song Ga-in and Koyote, and the spectacular fireworks show, the programs will provide unforgettable memories for people of all ages.
This fall, create special memories with the music festival at Uiwang Baegun Lake and nature at Uiwang Lake Park.
