Encircled by a 2-kilometer stretch of roads lined with ginkgo trees, this reservoir lies at the heart of Yanggok-ri, a quintessential small farming village. Its primary role is agricultural water supply, yet it doubles as a serene haven for both locals and tourists to stroll and reflect. Established in May 1978, this semi-valley reservoir boasts a rich, dense woodland and an array of ancient trees, contributing to its picturesque allure. The entrance is graced with an avenue of trees, which, come autumn, transforms into a golden canopy as the ginkgo leaves change hue. It’s a popular locale for families to convene, enjoying leisurely fishing and the peaceful surroundings.
