Information Introduction Hwajinpo (화진포) is named so because there are sweet briers that bloom by the lake, and it is one of nature’s great lagoons
It is designated Gangwon Provincial Monument No
10 with a circumference of about 16 km, and it has a wide reed field which is an important place for migratory birds and swans in the winter
Hwajinpo Lake is surrounded by evergreens and white sandy beaches; it is a lagoon where the river and the sea meet
Materials drifting down the river deposited at the bottom of the river become a sandy beach that eventually block off the river from the sea, creating a lagoon
Hwajinpo Lake is the largest lagoon near the East Sea, and has many ancient artifacts around it, such as the Ten Goindol rocks (also called Jiseokmyeo) scattered around the lake
Because of its excellent scenery, Kim Il-Seong (1912-1994) of North Korea and the South Korean president Lee Seung-Man (1875-1965) had summer houses here after the independence of Korea in 1945
The two houses that originally faced each other with the lake at the center are gone now, but the sites still remain as tourist destinations
They have been converted to Hwajinpo’s Museum of History, and opened to public as a security exhibit center
