- Based on the festival information introduced on KBS News Plaza in the first week of September, we recommend places for a fall outing.
- Various places are introduced, offering a variety of things to see and enjoy, including Janghang Wetland, Geumbit Canal & La Venice, Hapdeok Catholic Church, Seoul Sculpture Festival, and Seoul Light DDP 2024 Fall.
- In particular, Seoul Light DDP 2024 Fall is a festival commemorating the 10th anniversary of the opening of the DDP, offering a special opportunity to see the works of two artists, Kim Whanki and Birthday, in one place.
It's still early autumn in September, and the heat hasn't subsided yet.
KBS News Plaza video for the first week of SeptemberThe things that caught my eye were, of course, festivals. 🎉
I've been to La Venice in Gimpo a few times,
it's a good place to take an evening walk with your lover or family, so I recommend a visit.
The 1st Seoul Sculpture Festival, which runs until this weekend, and the Seoul Light DDP 2024 Autumn exhibition are not to be missed.

Janghang Wetland
Designated as a Wetland Conservation Area by the Ministry of Environment in 2006, Janghang Wetland stretches for about 7.6km from the Singok Weir under Gimpo Bridge on the Seoul Outer Ring Expressway
to Ilsan Bridge. It is the only one of the four major rivers in Korea where the estuary is not blocked by a dike,
forming a brackish water ecosystem where river water and seawater mix. It has been closed to civilians for a long time,
so it is home to the most diverse range of flora and fauna among the Han River Estuary wetlands.
Janghang Wetland is the largest willow forest in Koreaand a wintering ground for migratory birds.
The willow forest that stretches along the Han River is a rare sight in Korea.
It is a paradise for wildlife, with over 40 species of birds, including the red-crowned crane, a natural monument and an endangered species designated by the Ministry of Environment, and the greater white-fronted goose and mallard, with over 20,000 birds visiting.
Ecological experience programsare being operated. You can contact the Goyang City Environmental Protection Division to book your visit schedule.

Hapdeok Catholic Church
Hapdeok Catholic Church, the first parish in Chungcheong-do, began as Yangchon Catholic Church, built in Sanggung-ri, Godeok-myeon, Yesan-gun,
and was moved to its current location in 1899 and renamed Hapdeok Catholic Church.
Father Perren built the Gothic-style church building in 1929.
Located on a low hill, this church is characterized by its twin bell towers on the front facade.
The front of the building has three entrances and three windows, all of which are arched in a semicircle at the top.
The exterior walls are made of red brick, and the edges of the windows and the corners of the bell towers are made of gray brick.
Diamond-shaped decorations made of gray brick are added to the bottom of the windows and each side of the bell towers.
