The Gyeonggi Peace Plaza Winter Skating Rink will operate for 40 days from the 21st until January 31 of next year. It will be open from 10:00 AM to 5:10 PM every day except Mondays, which are closed days. Anyone aged 6 and older can use the skating rink without a reservation by paying an admission fee of 1,000 KRW and an equipment rental fee of 2,000 KRW.

This year, unlike last year, a sunny skating rink without shade was created, and the area has also increased to 1,134㎡, about 334㎡ larger than last year's 800㎡. Additionally, after the skating rink closes, a ‘light sculpture exhibition’ will be held along with the installation of moving lights and neon flex, creating a colorful and splendid lighting show illuminating the Northern Office Building of the Gyeonggi Provincial Government.

In particular, at 5:00 PM on January 1 next year, national-level figure skating athletes will present a special gala show at the skating rink. Four skaters, including Son Seohyun, Kwon Yena, and Byeon Sejong, who have experience as national figure skating representatives, and youth representative Jeong Heera, plan to perform a dazzling gala show under the lights.

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi Province announced that after the weekend skating rink closes, from 6:00 PM, the rink will be provided as a ‘proposal event venue’ for residents. Residents who want to propose at the skating rink at 6:00 PM on weekends can apply by sending their stories to the skating rink manager’s email.

Byun Sang-gi, Administrative Management Officer of Gyeonggi Province, said, “We have carefully prepared a more splendid skating rink than last year, so we hope residents will enjoy a joyful winter at Gyeonggi Peace Plaza,” and added, “We will continue to prepare richer cultural programs reflecting the diverse opinions of residents.”
