🌈 Noeul Festival Route
From Sanggye Station’s Mathematical Culture Center to Junggye Children’s Park
If you’re using public transportation, Sanggye or Junggye Station is the most convenient.
Artwork depicting fish, particularly carp, can be found along Danghyeoncheon. The stream has transformed into a beautiful urban waterway where you can encounter various fish species such as carp, crucian carp, tilapia, stone moroko, and white-spotted charr.
Seeing it in person is even more beautiful, and it’s a pity that it can’t be captured as nicely in photos.
Walking along the Danghyeoncheon promenade provides both exercise and a delightful time appreciating fantastic art pieces.

I’ve been coming here since 2020, and it seems to get upgraded slightly every year. When it first started, it had a strong commercial vibe, but now that’s no longer the case, which is great.
