아침 7시에 만차라고? 3만 평 연꽃바다 직접 걸어보니..｜시흥 연꽃테마파크

Hearing that lotus flowers are most beautiful in the morning, I visited Gwangokji Pond and the Lotus Theme Park in Siheung early on a weekend morning. I thought I had hurried a bit, but the parking lot was already full. I expected to just see the flowers, but I encountered ducks, egrets, and even a snake. As of the visit date, July 11, 2026, the blooming rate was approximately 30–40%. Since the lotus flowers are said to be at their most beautiful from late July to early August, I hope this information is helpful for those planning a visit. ▶ Visit Information Naver Map Link: https://naver.me/F5sMF41f Date of Visit: July 11, 2026 Blooming Rate: Approx. 30~40% (Peak expected late July to early August) Admission: Free for both Lotus Theme Park and Gwangokji Opening Hours: Lotus Theme Park open 24 hours a day, year-round / Gwangokji 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Closed on Mondays) Parking: Siheung City Agricultural Technology Center Official Parking Lot (Full from early morning during peak season, legal roadside parking areas are also available) Things to Bring: Parasol, hat, and bottled water are essential as there is almost no shade 0:00 Intro 0:23 Arrival, the parking lot already full (Parking Tip) 0:54 Lotus Theme Park 2:34 First encounter with a duck family 3:12 Red lotus colony 6:22 Egrets and photographers 7:23 Hojobeol Observatory 8:21 Ducks eating with snakehead fish 9:09 Gwangokji, an encounter with a snake 10:42 Farmers' Market 11:00 The end of the day This information was verified by my husband and me through our own walks.
