An event commemorating the first operation of the Baebongsan Forest Waterfall was held that day, and despite the rainy weather, many residents visited the waterfall to enjoy a healing time.

The event started at 6 p.m. on the 20th with a busking performance, followed by a project progress report, a commemorative tree planting unveiling ceremony, and the waterfall operation. The cool waterfall and nozzle fountains were illuminated with colorful lights, offering a new visual attraction.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “I hope many people visit the Baebongsan Forest Waterfall, which will become a new landmark of Dongdaemun-gu, and feel a refreshing coolness in the city.”

The operation hours of the waterfall and nozzle fountains will be flexibly managed until September, depending on the season and energy conditions. The district plans to project various content videos onto the waterfall rock face in the future to make the Baebongsan Forest Waterfall a night view attraction.
