If you’ re a fan of Korean heartthrob Lee Min Ho, you should not miss the lake at the Pocheon Art Valley in South Korea where some scenes of Korean drama series “The Legend of the Blue Sea, ” which he starred in, were shot.
Cheonjuho lake, which is one of the main attractions of the Pocheon Art Valley, has been the shooting location of Korean dramas like “The Legend of the Blue Sea” and “Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo.”
Like Sansawon, a museum of artifacts about the Korean traditional liquor, the art valley was also located Pocheon City in the province of Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. From Sansawon, foreign journalists invited by the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) for a five-day familiarization tour went straight to the Pocheon Art Valley.
The art valley was used to be a granite quarry, which was closed down and abandoned in the middle of 1990s, said our tour guide, Ginny Yang.
In the past, Yang said, locally quarried granites were used to build major buildings in South Korea, including the Incheon International Airport.
“After this mine was closed, they transformed the closed mine into the new art valley, ” she said.
In 2009, the former quarry site was opened as an eco-friendly culture and art park where you can see the Cheonjuho lake, an education exhibition center, outdoor performances and exhibitions, the Astronomical Observatory, Sculpture Park, among others.
