There are beautiful bridges connecting the island, such as Bangwol Bridge and Nakgang Bridge. In particular, Nakgang Bridge is one of the most impressive pedestrian bridges in the country, featuring a transparent glass section (Skywalk) in the middle that offers a thrilling experience of walking over the river.
As you stroll along the fresh Metasequoia path of the themed walking trail, you will encounter an emotional red phone booth and a hill of pinwheels. Every spot is filled with beautiful places where you can capture life's perfect moments.

The fountain show operates from May to October, from 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM and again at 8:30 PM, running for 25 minutes each time, ten times a day.
A visitor guide map of Gyeongcheon Park is available, showing three routes (A, B, C) based on distance and time, allowing you to explore the island efficiently according to your fitness level and schedule.
