Gyeonggi Province will hold the first commemorative event for the revitalization of Siwha Lake at Turtle Island in Siheung City on the 10th, marking ‘Siwha Lake Day’.

Siwha Lake Day is a Gyeonggi Province commemorative day designated by official announcement in September this year, following the ‘Gyeonggi Province Ordinance for Supporting the Revitalization of Siwha Lake’ enacted in October last year.

The Siwha Lake Day commemorative event was prepared to inform residents about improvements in Siwha Lake’s water quality and to enhance the value of the Siwha Lake area and the quality of life for residents through the activation of marine leisure and tourism industries centered around Siwha Lake.

The commemorative event will be held over three days from the 10th to the 12th of this month.

Various programs will be promoted to reflect on the past of Siwha Lake, share its current changes and future directions with residents, including citizen participation experience booths such as boat making with Siwha Lake environmental messages and assembling a large Siwha Lake puzzle, an exhibition of winning works from the Siwha Lake photo contest, the Siwha Lake environmental Golden Bell quiz using Siwha Lake stories and environmental knowledge, a children’s musical adapted to Siwha Lake’s history and future directions, and a Siwha Lake onboard tour.

In addition, the ‘Siwha Lake 30th Anniversary Ceremony’ prepared to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Siwha Lake will be held on the 10th at the Siwha Lake tidal power plant.

Gong Jeong-sik, Director of the Gyeonggi Province Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Life Sciences, said, "This Siwha Lake Day commemorative event is significant as the first event since the designation of Siwha Lake Day. We expect that Siwha Lake, reborn as a lake of life through this event, will become a new hope and opportunity for Gyeonggi Province. We will continue to make efforts to return Siwha Lake to the residents."

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi Province is currently promoting a five-year plan establishment project for the systematic and comprehensive utilization of Siwha Lake to revitalize the lake.
