세미원 연꽃문화제

The Semiwon Lotus Culture Festival is a representative summer garden culture festival held at Semiwon in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do. Semiwon is a garden surrounded on three sides by Paldangho, known as a garden of water and flowers, and it has about 270 kinds of plants, including traditional Eastern garden styles and aquatic plants. It was designated as Gyeonggi-do's first local garden in June 2019 and was developed as a space where visitors can experience both natural ecology and garden culture. Centered on the lotus, the festival is held during the blooming season and runs a variety of exhibitions, performances, and hands-on programs. Visitors can enjoy lotus flowers and aquatic plants throughout the garden, and through cultural and artistic content, education, and hands-on programs themed around lotus, they can experience the value of garden culture and the beauty of nature. The Semiwon area is also known as the place where Jeong Yak-yong, a late Joseon practical scholar, installed a ferry bridge on the Namhangang River, giving it historical significance. With facilities such as the Lotus Museum, Jangdokdae Fountain, Sehanjeong, and the ferry bridge, it serves as a complex cultural space where garden culture, history, ecology, and cultural arts come together.
