‘Shiri’ at the flower river to escape the heat, Shiri Village in Cheorwon

Shiri Village, located in Kimhwa-eup, Cheorwon-gun, encompasses the entire area of ​​Haksa-ri and Cheongyang-ri near the Hwagang River. A treasure-like summer destination, it is a favorite with families. Since it is a village in Gangwon-do, you might think of a rural area with a secluded valley, but it is more like a riverside swimming destination. The village-run Cheorwon Hwagang Shiri Camping Ground (hereafter referred to as Shiri Camping Ground), three swimming pools, shelters and walking trails are all gathered around the Hwagang River. There are also amusement facilities such as a water slide that slides from Kimhwa Bridge to the water pool, a water leisure experience area near the large swimming pool, and a water sledding area. Gimhwagyo Bridge, which connects the Shiri camping site and the town of Gimhwa, is a pedestrian-only bridge, and there are tunnels in the shape of Shiri and Seulgi, so it is worth walking. The stepping stones that cross the granite under the bridge are also pretty. Let’s also enjoy the Cheorwon Granite Seulgi Festival held from August 1st to 4th. It is a festival that started at the village level and has grown enough to be hosted by the county since 2016. The Thruwell Forest Culture Village is a recreational forest equipped with eco-adventures and a wood culture experience center. Eco House opened last June, making it a good place to stay. The DMZ security tour is worth looking around, focusing on the Soi Mountain Observatory in Gucheolwon and the Labor Party Headquarters. Last June, the Cheolwon section of the DMZ Peace Road was opened. Let’s look around Goseokjeong Pavilion, where the Hantangang River and strangely shaped rocks harmonize like a true landscape, and try rafting.
