coo***anDaecheong Lake is the third largest man-made lake in South Korea, and its name is derived from the "big" character in Daejeon and the character "qing" in Cheongwon County. Construction started in 1975 and completed in 1980. It has a water storage capacity of 1.5 billion tons and provides various water such as drinking water to Daejeon and Cheongju.

In Daqing Lake, many migratory birds come to build nests every season. In summer, you can often see egrets whirling at low altitude near Daqing Dam. Daqing Lake is one of the eight scenic spots in Daejeon due to its exceptionally beautiful scenery. The vast Jinjiang River and the many small islands in the lake complement each other, which is reminiscent of Xianli Waterway in Marine Park

Museum

空空CJThe museum, which is a museum of the rise and fall of Japanese civilization, tells about the impact of Japanese civilization on money. It is worth a visit to learn about the origins of money, currency exchange, trade policy, political influence in different countries. However, no photos allowed here, if only you can take pictures. Leave 2 hours to visit and it is well worth it.

National Science Museum

Museum

M38***13The Science and Technology Museum occupies a very large area, and there are rockets, high-speed trains, and aircraft, tanks and artillery outdoors—it is indeed the last front line of the Cold War. Natural geology, physics, and mathematics are all-encompassing in the Science and Technology Museum, but the most distinctive feature is naturally the top-level history of ancient Korean science and technology. Here is divided into several parts, such as astronomy, geography, military music, smelting, porcelain, navigation, and agriculture, and detailed introduction of the ancient or earth-shattering or trivial achievements of the DPRK and South Korea. It is very subtle that the explanatory texts here are basically in Korean, and foreign languages are rarely seen. From this, it may be inferred that the mission of this huge museum is to propagate and educate internally, rather than to brag about the country. In contrast, the display of general scientific principles that can be seen in all science and technology museums is nothing. Generally speaking, it seems to be in the middle of the world compared with the China Science and Technology Museum in Beijing.

] Daejeon is the most lively city. Full of artwork and history. Even the most day to day objects take on a new look when they are turned in to art. This is a very nice city, but not a lot of touristy things to do. #wintergetaway
