Okjeongho crucian carp island in Imsil-gun, Jeollabuk-do is an ecological park famous for its mysterious early morning water fog.

The island of crucian carp was in the middle of the Seomjingang River, so it was an unknown land that had to be seen from a distance.

Now it is crowded with tourists visiting this place because it is connected by a suspension bridge.

There is a YTN issue reporter at the scene. Reporter Lee Minjae!

It's said that you can cross the suspension bridge and enter the crucian carp island, and tourists are looking for it again today?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

I crossed the 420m suspension bridge and came into the island of crucian carp.
Citizens who visited this place in the good autumn weather of
are constantly visiting.

Okjeongho 'Bungeo Island', whose name is derived from its appearance resembling a crucian carp, has many stories.

With the construction of the Seomjingang River Dam in 1965, the water rose and turned into an island,

There is a painful past when more than 300 households who lost their homes in the aftermath migrated.

This place, where migrants are sad, has now been transformed into a charming ecological park.

It is also thanks to the promotion of the "Seomjin River Renaissance Project" to revitalize Imsil's tourist attractions since last year.

In particular, the 420m-long suspension bridge is considered the highlight.

When it was possible to walk to Okjeongho Lake crucian carp island, which already gained national fame due to fantastic water fog,

The number of tourists visiting this place exceeded 1 million in just two years.

Then let's listen to the stories of the citizens who visited this place.

[Kim Hyun-ho, Song Green / Sanbon-dong, Gyeonggi-do: The weather is very nice and there are many things to see, so I am having a happy time with my family. Since we've lived in the city for a long time, we haven't had many opportunities to see a good environment, but it's so nice to see a good view with our children, and I hope we'll come to these places in the future so that we can plant more memories for young children.

Now, the first start of autumn, you can enjoy the beautiful appearance of flowers representing autumn, such as chrysanthemum flowers, cosmos, and Gujeolcho.

Last spring, cherry blossoms, tulips, and peony flowers, the queen of spring flowers, were in full bloom and were in the spotlight.

Tourists are busy taking pictures as soon as they step into this place full of thick water fog and beautiful natural scenery,

Also, you can taste crucian carp-shaped bread to match the crucian carp island, so you are responsible for the food of the citizens.

In addition, if you come to Imsil-gun, where cheese is famous, you can't miss the cheese festival.

The festival runs until this Sunday, so it would be good to enjoy both the outing of the crucian carp island and the cheese festival.

Full of hidden charms

How about making precious autumn memories here in Okjeong Lake?
