Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Soon-hee) announced plans to create a waterfront vitality hub near Suyu Bridge on Uicheon, where residents can enjoy leisure activities while overlooking Bukhansan.

Uicheon in Gangbuk-gu is a local stream originating from the western Bukhansan and merging into Jungnangcheon to the east. It is adjacent to Baeknyeon Market, a traditional market, Suyuri Food Alley, and the Gangbuk-gu Office. Suyu Station and Ssangmun Station are located within a 10-minute walk from Uicheon. Additionally, numerous community sports facilities are available, making it a popular space for many residents.

The district won a public contest hosted by Seoul City for the creation of a waterfront vitality hub to develop a viewing area and waterfront park where many citizens can enjoy views of Bukhansan and the waterfront. With 3 billion KRW in city funding, the district plans to proceed with planning and design in collaboration with Seoul City this year and begin construction next year.

This project aims to create a premium waterfront park on Uicheon, which is expected to contribute to revitalizing the local commercial areas around Suyu Station, including the traditional Baeknyeon Market and Suyuri Food Alley.

Lee Soon-hee, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, stated, “This project transforms the stream from a ‘linear space’ like a walking path and bike lane into a ‘complex space’ suitable for everyday gatherings and meetings.” She added, “Uicheon will be reborn as a space where residents can enjoy a highly satisfying waterfront life, bringing new vitality to the stagnant commercial areas around Suyu Station, including Baeknyeon Market and Suyuri Food Alley.”
