Okjeongho crucian carp island in Imsil-gun, Jeollabuk-do is an ecological park famous for its mysterious early morning water fog.

The island of crucian carp was in the middle of the Seomjingang River, so it was an unknown land that had to be seen from a distance.

Now it is crowded with tourists visiting this place because it is connected by a suspension bridge.

There is a YTN issue reporter at the scene. Reporter Lee Minjae!

Okjeongho 'Bungeo Island', whose name is derived from its appearance resembling a crucian carp, has many stories.

With the construction of the Seomjingang River Dam in 1965, the water rose and turned into an island,

There is a painful past when more than 300 households who lost their homes in the aftermath migrated.

This place, where migrants are sad, has now been transformed into a charming ecological park.

It is also thanks to the promotion of the "Seomjin River Renaissance Project" to revitalize Imsil's tourist attractions since last year.

In particular, the 420m-long suspension bridge is considered the highlight.

When it was possible to walk to Okjeongho Lake crucian carp island, which already gained national fame due to fantastic water fog,

The number of tourists visiting this place exceeded 1 million in just two years.

Then let's listen to the stories of the citizens who visited this place.

[Ha Sung-yeop / Geumam-dong, Jeonju: Wow, that's good! It's great to be here in my hometown of Okjeongho. The weather is nice, too! I feel great.]

[Choi Myung-sim and Jin Seong-ja / Noryangjin-dong, Seoul: I came here for the first time after staying in Jeollabuk-do because of my friend's recommendation. It's so nice. It's so nice and happy. We slept at the pension in front of Okjeongho Lake. So I watched the water fog in the morning, and I'm so happy. I like it a lot.]

Now, the first start of autumn, you can enjoy the beautiful appearance of flowers representing autumn, such as chrysanthemum flowers, cosmos, and Gujeolcho.

Last spring, cherry blossoms, tulips, and peony flowers, the queen of spring flowers, were in full bloom and were in the spotlight.

Tourists are busy taking pictures as soon as they step into this place full of thick water fog and beautiful natural scenery,

Also, you can taste crucian carp-shaped bread to match the crucian carp island, so you are responsible for the food of the citizens.

In addition, if you come to Imsil-gun, where cheese is famous, you can't miss the cheese festival.

The festival runs until this Sunday, so it would be good to enjoy both the outing of the crucian carp island and the cheese festival.

Full of hidden charms

How about making precious autumn memories here in Okjeong Lake?
