Gosam Lake

This description was machine-translated from the Korea Tourism Organization's Korean original.

Gosam Lake in Anseong, Gyeonggi-do, is known as a sunrise spot, but its fog-shrouded appearance at dawn makes it a place that evokes a dreamlike, lyrical sense of mystery. The main setting of director Kim Ki-duk's film , Gosam Lake impresses with its blue water and the fishing platforms floating on it. Gosam Lake is famous as a fishing spot, but after the film's release it also began to be known as a tourist course. Relatively close to downtown Seoul, it can be done as a day trip, and because the film used the entire lake as an open set, visitors can enjoy its original, tranquil atmosphere. The observatory by the lakeside is good both for watching the sunrise here and for viewing the lake and surrounding scenery. Stele Island and Palja Island in the center of the lake spread out in harmony with the fishing platforms, and chairs set up on the observatory are also good for resting. A well-developed lakeside trail makes it pleasant for walks as well.
