Introduction

Jinyang Lake is a clean lake known as the lifeline of Jinju citizens, used for surrounding drinking water, irrigation water, and industrial water. If you go upstream from Jinjuseong Fortress, there is a multipurpose dam built by blocking the river, and the lake formed during its construction is Jinyang Lake. The Jinyang Lake Hoban Observatory gained fame as a filming location for the tvN drama 〈Designated Survivor〉, establishing itself as a tourist attraction. Inside Jinyang Lake Park, there are a zoo, playground facilities, and hotels. The Hoban Observatory is also located in the highest area of Jinyang Lake Park, offering a panoramic view of Jinyang Lake’s breathtaking scenery, which resembles a sea dotted with big and small islands gathered closely together.
