1. Immerse yourself in nature at Hwacheon Chilseong Observatory.
2. Learn about fascinating otters at the Otter Research Institute.
3. Experience the serenity of Chuncheon through an unforgettable canoeing adventure.

Managed by the Rising Chilseong Division (7th Division), Hwacheon Chilseong
Observatory is situated at the northernmost point of Hwacheon, known as the
third closest location between North and South Korea. The Chilseong Division
was the first to raise the Taegukgi during the Korean War.

Designated as Natural Monument No. 330 and categorized as an endangered
species, the otter is a crucial indicator of aquatic ecosystems. Established
in 2013, the Otter Research Center in Asia conducts research, breeding, and
restoration projects to preserve and study otters. Visitors can witness the
life of wild otters up close.

Chuncheon's Jungdo Waterway offers a course for water sports such as canoeing
and yachting on rivers or lakes. Like the famous Jeju Olle Trail and Jirisan
Dulle-gil, this route lets you enjoy nature. Canoeing along the beautiful Uiam
Lake in Chuncheon allows families, friends, and colleagues to experience both
the tranquility of life and the thrill of adventure.
