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

Gyodong Yeonhwaji is a reservoir in Gyodong, Gimcheon-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Created in the early Joseon period as an irrigation pond for agricultural water, it has clear water and fine scenery; men of letters and leisure once built an island in the middle of the pond and raised a pavilion called Bonghwangdae, where they recited poetry, drank, and whiled away the hours. Yeonhwaji is famous for its beautiful cherry blossoms and is a pleasant place for a stroll in the warm spring breeze. It is highly popular with families with children and with couples; at night lights are turned on, offering a charm different from the daytime. Paths have been laid out for walking along the reservoir, making it a resting place sought by people of all ages.
