Ansan Reed Wetland is a large-scale artificial wetland created to improve the water quality of Siwaho Lake. The aquatic plants and reeds planted here naturally purify pollutants. This place was developed not only for urban residents who find it difficult to connect with nature to rest in a natural setting but also to observe and learn how the organisms forming the ecosystem inhabit the area. Beyond being a simple park for rest, it also serves as an educational site for ecological environments. Inside the Environmental Ecology Center, exhibits include the history of Siwaho Lake and ecological data related to wetlands, as well as the purification process by reeds. Near the center is the Natural Energy Experience Education Center, where visitors can experience natural energies with low pollution and continuous usability, such as solar, wind, and geothermal energy. The ecological pond offers a variety of aquatic plants each season. Outside the Environmental Ecology Center, the expansive reed wetland observation path is well-maintained with wooden decks to protect the wetland and provide convenience for visitors. Slightly separated from the city, the Reed Wetland Park allows visitors to hear natural sounds such as wind, birds, and water while encountering various wetland species.

General Nami's Tomb is located 2.5km from Bibong-myeon, Hwaseong-si, within the ancestral burial ground of the Hanyang Jo clan. It is a double tomb shared by General Nami and his wife, designated as a Gyeonggi-do monument on July 10, 1973. Nami (1441–1468), of the Uiryeong bon-gwan, was King Taejong's grandson-in-law and son-in-law to Left State Councillor Gwon Ram. In 1457 (Sejo 3), at age 17, he passed the military examination and received Sejo's favor. During the Yi Si-ae Rebellion (1467), he fought bravely, and also gained renown leading the vanguard in subjugating the Jurchen's Geonjuwi. At age 26, he was appointed Minister of War. However, in 1468, after King Yejong ascended the throne, he was falsely accused of treason by Yoo Ja-gwang, sentenced to death by dismemberment. Descendants of General Nami, branded a traitor, created memorial shrines across Nami Island and Korea to protect his remains from desecration. After verification, this site was confirmed as his actual tomb, where descendants now perform ancestral rites. Currently, the tomb complex includes two mounds where he and his wife are buried together, surrounded by a stone fence. A tombstone stands before the grave, flanked by pairs of scholar and guardian stone figures. The stone statues, preserving early Joseon artistic style, are important for understanding the regional funerary culture of Gyeonggi.
