[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jung Soon-gyun) completed the restoration project of the ginkgo tree alley in Daechi-dong last month, aimed at reviving the value of alleys and improving residents' living environment.

This project was initiated to preserve alleys disappearing due to redevelopment, inspired by the annual 'Hantigol Ginkgo Tree Cultural Festival' held for the longevity of the 580-year-old protected ginkgo tree located on Samsung-ro 64-gil and the well-being of the village.

The district installed new pavement blocks along the children's school route, improved nighttime scenery, and installed railings to reduce traffic inconvenience caused by illegal parking and the risk of pedestrian traffic accidents.

Additionally, landscaping facilities were created to foster a nature-friendly environment, and ginkgo leaves were painted on the road surface to highlight the alley's unique character.

Furthermore, support was provided for ritual offerings and event expenses for the cultural festival held last October to ensure its smooth operation.

Kim Hyun-jung, Director of Urban Planning, stated, "This year, we plan to conduct various programs for residents, such as children's art exhibitions and horticulture education, and to discover additional areas for restoration. We will revitalize the alleys, which are like the capillaries of Gangnam, a city where everyone is happy, to create a pleasant living environment where work, life, and culture harmonize."
