The 5km perimeter of Cheongchoho is shaped like a jar.
The lake was also called "Cheonghomagyeong (Cheongho-Mirror)" in Soya 8(pal) Gyeong (The Eight Sceneries of Soya) because of its clean water reflecting objects like a polished mirror. The nocturnal scene of Cheongchoho and the sunrise the Ease Sea can be viewed from the International Tourist Exposition Observatory.

Many species of birds such as swans, thousands of sea gulls and flocks of ducks visit the area to pass the winter.
Fostering a large influx of migratory birds, with 216 species under observation, Cheongchoho is recognized as an important ecological park.

1. Cheongho-dong Village
After the Korean War in 1953, refugees from Hamgyeong-do(A province in Noth Korea) settled in Cheongho-dong Village. The village is also known as "Abaimaeul"(Father-Village, as "Abai" means "father" in Hamgyeong-do dialect.) Since the village is surrounded by water-by Ease Sea to one side and by Cheongchoho(lake) to the other-most villagers in the old days had used boats called Gaetbae (rowboat). Serving as one of the village's symbols, the boats are still being used.
