Pocheon Art Valley Cheonjuho Astronomical Science Museum Tourist Attractions
A place worth going on a spring trip with a child~Traveling to the northern part of Gyeonggi-do is not easy. It’s the same Gyeonggi area, but the route from the south to the north is more than two hours on average. It was a trip to the northern part of Gyeonggi-do that I had to make up my mind.~Yeolcimi~Pocheon Art Valley is one of the four winter tourist attractions, and it was a good experiential learning center to visit with children and families because you can look around leisurely from early morning to afternoon.
I parked in the parking lot and headed to the Stone Culture Promotion Exhibition Hall in Hantan River Geopark first. I looked around the exhibition hall for free like a sketch and bought tickets at the ticket office right next door. The fare was 5,000 won for adults, and the round-trip fare for monorail was 2,300 won extra.
I bought a round-trip ticket to Monorail and climbed up one by one. The slope section was quite long, but I could see the scenery of the quarry as a tourist destination in Pocheon.
For your information, there are two ways to get to Cheonjuho Lake from the entrance
monorail and walking. There is an uphill slope when you go up, so I think you can walk leisurely when you go down by monorail. If you’re looking for a place to go with your child, I recommend the monorail.
Before going to Cheonju Lake, I stopped by the Astronomical Science Museum first. It was a popular science museum for children. It was a good place to experience.
Astronomical Science Museum is a place where you can go right after getting off the monorail, but it was different from the way to Cheonjuho Lake.
The Science Museum is a three-story building that operates an astronomical observation room on the rooftop with the constellation you meet in Pocheon Art Valley.
Exhibition rooms are located on the 1st and 2nd floors, from 1st to 3rd exhibition rooms, and the 3rd floor has an astronomical projection room and a waiting room. On the second floor, we could see the sun and the solar system’s family’s planets. I’ve seen these planets since I was young, but it felt new to meet them at the science museum.
Learning the sense of the season by looking at the constellation of stars.. It’s a difficult constellation for me, but it was easy to remember and fun when I looked into it in conjunction with the season.
The sculpture of the zodiac was splendid. I was able to find out the constellations, related myths, and origins of the zodiac sign, and I was able to check the constellations that fit my birthday.
The Astronomical Science Museum runs an astronomical program. It’s being held from 9
30 a.m. to 18 p.m.
In addition, we run exhibition commentary programs on the first and second floors, explain constellations in the astronomical projection room, and the astronomical observation program is operated only on weekends, observing the sun during the day and stars and planets at night.
After looking around the Astronomical Science Museum, I followed the road to see Cheonju Lake in Pocheon. As I walked, Cheonjuho Lake was covered with thin ice in a place surrounded like a folding screen.
This place, famous for filming the drama, was frozen under granite, and the deck of the grandstand sparkled with a thick emerald lake.
Looking down from the observatory, the deep, blue emerald-colored scenery of Cheonju Lake harmonized like a picture.
Pocheon Art Valley, a hot spot worth visiting in Pocheon, was the only waste quarry upcycling Pocheon tourist destination in the world and was a granite quarry.
There were two deer standing under a cliff that was shining like a crystal. It was an art valley that was born as a new cultural and artistic space by preserving the old scenery and adding art works.
The dark blue emerald lake was like a mermaid in a drama, and the dragon seemed to ascend. When I looked up the granite quarry from below, the granite standing like a folding screen was spectacular.
Pocheon Cheonjuho Lake was naturally formed by the collection of rainwater and spring water introduced between the quarries of granite. The maximum depth is 25m, which is said to be a clean first-class water.
After looking around the lake, I headed to the sky garden. There is a monorail boarding area that goes down to the entrance on the way to the garden.
Sky Garden was a walking course with a view of Pocheon Art Valley.
As you walk, you can see the view of the quarry surrounding Cheonju Lake from a different angle because there is an observatory where you can see the view of the quarry right in front of your eyes.
I had a completely different impression when I looked at Cheonju Lake from the front and from the top. I could see the traces of the granite quarry.
Please note that the stone steps that walk down the sky park to the sculpture park are connected to the width of one person’s walk and can be dizzy due to the severe slope.
I got off to Sculpture Park and headed to the observatory where I could see the quarry closely. This was the venue for media facade performances.
The rose tunnel where roses bloom in May was a light tunnel lit by colorful light bulbs in winter. It was a place where I was happy because it seemed to be a consideration for the visitors.
Sculptures are installed everywhere in the large square, and photo zones decorated with flowers are prepared. If you visit Pocheon tourist attractions, there are many places to play in Pocheon and there are many good places to take pictures.
Pocheon Art Valley, which embraces the emerald lake, is a place worth visiting in Pocheon, and you can enjoy a trip to and from history and the present with your children. It was a Pocheon tourist destination with plenty of things to see and play even when spring is coming.
