The Semiwon Water Lily Culture Festival is a leading autumn garden festival held at Semiwon in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do. Surrounded by Paldang Lake on three sides, Semiwon is a garden of water and flowers, featuring traditional East Asian garden styles and various aquatic plants. It is Gyeonggi-do’s No. 1 designated local garden. The festival centres on water lilies, Semiwon’s signature aquatic plants, offering distinctive autumn garden sights. Victoria water lilies, known as the ‘queen of flowers’, Australian water lilies and colourful tropical water lilies combine with other aquatic plants to form distinctive landscapes. Visitors can admire water lilies blooming above the water and enjoy a relaxed urban retreat. As a venue for the 2026 Gyeonggi Garden Culture Expo, it plans to offer further garden-culture content. Semiwon also carries the history of the boat bridge associated with late Joseon scholar Jeong Yak-yong. Its facilities include a lotus museum, an earthenware-jar fountain, Sehanjeong and a boat bridge, making it a cultural space combining nature, ecology and the arts and a garden destination throughout the four seasons.
