[Korea] Pocheon Art Valley (Hantan River UNESCO World Geopark)

 Transformation of a Waste Quarry and Complex Cultural Space for Companion of Pets

A picturesque emerald lake, a granite cliff cut like a folding screen above it! Pocheon Art Valley, a complex cultural and artistic space where you can appreciate and enjoy art in nature, was a place that was left ugly as a waste quarry that no one visited until the 1990s. However, it has now been completely transformed into a healing attraction where nature and art come together with 400,000 lovers. In particular, the Astronomical Science Museum, where you can enjoy stars in the night sky, has been opened since 2014, and has been enjoying great popularity as a place for hands-on education for children and a dating course for lovers.
