Korean avid cyclists are so happy to celebrate the completion of the cross-country riverside cycling trails along 4 major rivers across South Korea. 1757 km (1092 Miles) is the total length of the cycling trail network, which has been created by 4 major rivers restoration project.
This riverside cycling trail can be seen around Daegu 대구 city partly surrounded by the Nakdong river 낙동강. To the west of Daegu located Gangjeong-bo 강정보, which is the largest in size among 16 weirs of the four rivers; Bo means weir. Dalseong-bo 달성보 is to the south, and Chilgog-bo 칠곡보 to the north. Every weir is connected to each other by the trail, which is well paved either inside or on the riverbanks.
The environmentalists have always argued that 4 major rivers restoration project including this riverside cycling trail unintentionally destroys the nature of the rivers, not restoring or conserving it. The government, however, consistently insists that the project has aimed to restore and conserve the rivers eco-friendly. Anyway, the project was finally completed last month. Time will settle the argument.
