Due to construction of the dam, the beautiful village where 26,000 residents of 4,075 households lived in the areas being flooded by the Daecheong Lake has become a land only in their memories of leisurely life of swimming, fishing in the river as well as the beautiful and exotic riverside village atmosphere that cannot never be visited again. They had to be relocated from their homeland to the urban centers of Shintanjin and Daejeon, and as far as the landfill area and clustered settlement in industrial estate in Namyang.
Daecheong Lake, by putting its painful memories of the past behind, has become a resting place for the souls of the residents of Daejeon and Chungcheong Province, and a renowned tourist destination visited by more than 2 million visitors annually.
Diverse range of ecological tourist destinations such as LOHAS Happy Road at the Geum River, San-Ho-Bit Daecheong Park, Samjeong-dong Ecological floating wetland, Yihyeon-dong giant silver grass wetland (to be completed in the 1st half of 2013) are situated in the areas surrounding the Daecheong Lake, and Cheongnamdae, Hyeonamsa, Daecheong Lake Sculpture Park and Aquatic Promotions Center in close vicinity. We highly recommend LOHAS travel to the Daedeok-gu Daecheong Dam in Daedeok-gyu with your family and loved ones.
