Wavegarden Cove, Siheung City, South Korea, a man-made surf park, which will become the largest in the world upon completion and is expected to open in 2020. Plans for the Siheung Surf Park - which includes a beach almost 1 kilometre long - were initially unveiled last November when the key parties signed a joint business agreement to turn this ambitious vision into reality. Business stage 1 will see the creation of Asia’s first Wavegarden Cove on a site covering 166,613 metre2. In stage 2 of the development, the Daewon Plus Group, the investor of Wave park, will invest approximately US$2.3 billion to progressively construct a hotel, convention centre, marina, and Ferris wheel. Siheung, a city formerly known for its industrial manufacturing business, will transform its venue into an epicenter for tourism and leisure, anticipating two million visitors per year.
