   Pocheon Art Valley

   포천 아트밸리

   Used as a granite quarry since the late 1960s, this site was abandoned as a damaged quarry after production ceased in the mid-1990s, and it was transformed into a culture and art space—the first of its kind in Korea to be revitalized through culture and art. Facilities include exhibition halls, cafes, an outdoor performance stage, walking trails, and a monorail. Cheonjuho Lake was formed when spring water and rainwater filled the hollow dug during granite quarrying. With a maximum depth of 20 meters, it is a first-grade clean lake inhabited by crayfish, salamanders, and minnows; access to the lake is prohibited for water quality protection and safety.
