춘천의 호수

Chuncheon in Gangwon Province is both a city of mountains and lakes. Lakes in Chuncheon are not lakes in the natural sense. They are formed due to the construction of dams. Picture above is Uiam Lake (의암호-衣岩湖). The Uiam Dam is over at the other end. The place where I took the picture was quite secluded. We got there by taking a taxi from Chuncheon city but we had some problem getting a taxi back. We waited for more than half an hour before an empty taxi came along the way. The lesson learnt is that if you want to visit some "exotic" place be prepared to take a longer time to return to base.
