Sincheon (Korean: 신천) is a stream flowing through eastern Daegu, South Korea.
It rises from the Naengcheon and other streams in Gachang-myeon, Dalseong County, in the rural south of the city, and flows north through the east side of the city center to reach the Geumho River.
This name refers to its being constructed as part of a flood containment project ordered by local official Yi Seo during the reign of King Jeongjo in 1778.
[1] Since that time, the stream has been continuously subject to human interventions, for flood control, recreation, and other purposes.
[2] The Sincheon is habitat to a large population of birds, including mallard ducks as well as gray herons and little egrets.
