Overview
Uirimji Reservoir was created during the Three Kingdoms Era. Due to its long history, it is one of the most famous reservoirs in Chungcheong-do. <br /><br />The reservoir is 1.8 kilometers in circumference and 151,470 square meters in water surface area and has a depth of 8-13 meters. It supplies water to nearby farmland and was one of the 3 major reservoirs of the Three Kingdoms Era along with Byeokgolje of Gimje and Susanje of Miryang. With a water gate built of onggi (earthenware), Uirimji is also a valuable historical site for studying farming methods. <br /><br />The reservoir is one of the main tourist attractions of Jecheon. Attractions around the reservoir include Yeonghojeong Pavilion and Gyeonghoru Pavilion. The traditional beauty of the structures is accented by the neighboring ancient pine and willow trees and the 30 meter-high waterfall.
