[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City announced on the 31st that it has completed the construction of a marine waterfront space at Sorae Wetland Ecological Park.

This project involves creating a waterfront space along a section of approximately 648 meters from the Namdong-gu Sorae Wetland Exhibition Hall to the Sincheon Gaetgol, the boundary with Siheung City, and construction began in December last year.

The city invested 3.9 billion KRW to develop various waterfront spaces such as Meeting Plaza, Mudflat Experience Plaza, Rest Shelter, and Observatory.

On the southern walking trail of Sorae Wetland, an additional coastal deck path was installed to separate the bicycle road and pedestrian path, allowing visitors to safely and conveniently walk along the mudflats while enjoying the coastal scenery up close.

Also, a rest area was installed in the middle of the coastal deck path to supplement the insufficient resting spaces. An observatory was built in front of the existing Buin Bridge, creating a unique space where visitors can relax while watching the sunset, and an experience plaza was established for eco-friendly mudflat ecological experiences.

Furthermore, subtle lighting facilities were installed along the coastal deck path to create a nighttime walking environment within a range that does not disturb the ecosystem.

An official from Incheon City stated, "With the completion of this construction, including the existing waterfront spaces, we have established a pleasant waterfront walking axis extending about 18 km from Siheung Gaetgol Ecological Park to Yonghyeon Gaetgol Retention Pond."
