The Daejeoncheon is a national river of South Korea within the Geum River system, and one of the three major rivers (including Gapcheon and Yudeungcheon) that flow through Daejeon metropolitan city. The river originates within Daejeon, at Mr. Manin and Mt. Bipa, approximately 15km (9 mi) to the south of the city center, and flows to the north through the city's old downtown, dividing the districts of Jung-gu and Dong-gu, before merging with the Yudeongcheon river.[1][2]
Restoration and Access
The Daejeoncheon was previously used as a parking lot, but has undergone substantial restoration in recent decades, removing a large department store which covered the river, and removing motor vehicle access and parking lots at several points.[3] New infrastructure includes low-impact cycling and walking paths, along with natural areas to promote riparian ecosystem regrowth. The restoration is ongoing, and has enabled the river to provide ecosystem services such as wildlife habitat for various pollinators, heron, and waterfowl, while also serving as a major walking and cycling route between multiple residential and commercial areas.[4]
