Chungju City, Chungbuk Province, announced on the 4th that the Jangja Swamp Canoe Experience Project, which it introduced to revitalize leisure sports tourism, has been selected for the Korea Water Resources Corporation’s competition for support projects for areas around dams .The city plans to create a 1.8-kilometer tree-lined road with a rest area at the Jangja Swamp Canoe Experience Center with 220 million won in support from the Korea Water Resources Corporation. The Jangja Swamp Canoe Experience Center is located on a 3.3-kilometer section of the Saetgang River in Namhang from the bottom of the Jojongji Dam to the Mokgye Sol Field Campground. Water willows grow around the river, creating an exotic atmosphere reminiscent of a mangrove forest. It takes about 60 minutes to travel through the waterway in a two-seater canoe. There’s also a 3.3-kilometer bicycle trail to get to the canoe .It was originally scheduled to officially open on the 1st of this month, but the opening was postponed to the middle of this month due to increased dam discharge following heavy rains and typhoon forecasts .The city plans to operate it for free until the end of the year and then charge a fee from next year. A city official said, “We will make thorough preparations so that the Jangja Swamp Canoe Experience Program can be established as a representative tourism product of Chungju, the 토토사이트 ‘City of Water’.”
