Dongdaemun-gu to Hold Opening Ceremony for Cheonjangsan Forest Trail at 3 PM on the 17th... Total 1.76 km Course from Forest Science Institute to Imun Children's Library... Opened After Over 30 Consultations with Related Agencies Since 2013... Second Green Rest Area Following Baebongsan

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) will hold an opening ceremony for the Cheonjangsan Forest Trail at 3 p.m. on the 17th at the starting point of the Cheonjangsan Forest Trail at the National Institute of Forest Science.

The Cheonjangsan Forest Trail is a total 1.76 km course connecting the Forest Science Institute ~ Military Base ~ behind Kyung Hee University Peace Hall ~ Imun Children's Library.

The district utilized the existing forest roads and trails of Cheonjangsan as much as possible to preserve nature while maintaining the walking path. Wooden decks and stairs, cross drainage, and palm mats were installed according to the terrain, and for the safety of residents, night lighting and unmanned surveillance cameras were also installed.

The Dongdaemun-gu area of Cheonjangsan, which spans Dongdaemun-gu and Seongbuk-gu, includes Kyung Hee University and the Forest Science Institute experimental forest, and has not been open to residents until now.

The district has requested opening this area to residents to provide a green resting space, holding more than 30 consultations with related organizations such as the Forest Science Institute since 2013, and was able to start construction from April 2019.

The district expects the Cheonjangsan Forest Trail to become another resting place in Dongdaemun-gu following the Baebongsan Dulle-gil Trail.

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “I am pleased that another green space has been created in Dongdaemun-gu, where green spaces are relatively scarce,” and added, “Since the opening consultations, design, and construction have been carried out over a long period, I hope many residents will visit this space for rest.”
