Nowon-gu Danghyeoncheon Presents Spectacular Musical Fountain Show and More

'Rebirth of Neighborhood Stream' Danghyeoncheon 3.3km Section Renovation Completed, Access Roads and Bridges Added, Rest Areas Expanded... Over 50 Autumn Flowers Planted Including Sukryeong, Petunia, Begonia, and Mandrami

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (Mayor Oh Seung-rok) is renovating Danghyeoncheon, which runs through the city center, and presenting it to residents.

The Danghyeoncheon environmental improvement project, which began in February, first refurbished the old walking paths and bicycle roads (2 km on the left, 1.4 km on the right) along a total 3.3 km section to ensure pedestrian safety. Walking paths are marked in green and bicycle roads in red so users can use them safely. Additionally, to improve accessibility to the walking paths, one new entrance and two bridges were added.

Twenty rest areas where visitors can take light exercise and relax during their walk were also created. These include a 240-meter-long mist fountain, two decks under bridges, three shade shelters, sixteen resting benches, and nine outdoor exercise equipment stations placed throughout the walking paths.

The most eye-catching features are the ground fountain and the musical fountain. The ground fountain in front of Seongseo University measures 15.5 meters wide and 6 meters long with 65 nozzles, providing a resting space for residents tired from the midsummer heat.

Especially at night, various colored lights add visual effects. It operates every 30 minutes from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. until the end of September.

The musical fountain in front of the Nowon Math Culture Center is 20.5 meters wide and 5.5 meters long, with 303 nozzles shooting water jets up to 25 meters high. It offers a dynamic fountain show with vibrant lighting synchronized to lively music. Messages displayed on the fountain’s water screen, such as COVID-19 encouragement slogans, elicit cheers from the audience. It operates once daily for 15 minutes at 7 p.m. from the 19th until the end of October.

The specialized flower beds along Danghyeoncheon, which captivated residents last spring, have been newly decorated with autumn flowers. Over 50 varieties of plants such as wormwood, yellow cosmos, petunia, begonia, and cockscomb can be seen along the walking paths.

Residents can also enjoy 'Nowon Music Broadcasting,' which has received high praise. The broadcast features music and stories requested in real-time by residents to the DJ. On average, about 130 people connect daily to the open chat room, enjoying conversations and serving as an untact community space. It operates Monday to Friday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Meanwhile, starting with Danghyeoncheon, the district plans to carry out neighborhood stream refurbishment projects covering a total of 17.37 km, including 8.32 km of Jungnangcheon, 2.85 km of Uicheon, and 2.9 km of Mukdongcheon, by 2021. The plan aims to strengthen the ecological functions of the streams and transform them into distinctive and walkable waterways.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, “The neighborhood stream revitalization project has transformed Danghyeoncheon into a place with convenient and safe walking environments, enjoyable music, and beautiful scenery. We will continue to create places where residents can enjoy healing in their daily lives.”
