Cutting across downtown Gwangju, Gwangjucheon Stream offers a stream-side park and rest area for citizens. The park comes with trails for walking and bicycling, and is dotted with rest areas, facilities, and restrooms. The park at nighttime, with its beautiful lights and fountain shows, offers a unique experience as a perfect outing for families and couples.
The stream is a natural habitat for birds, such as green-winged teals, marsh tits, and gray starlings; mammals, such as raccoons, water deer, and moles; amphibians, such as Korean salamanders and water snakes; and fish, such as pale chubs, Chinese minnows, and stone morokos.
