Hwasun-gun Completes 'World Megalith Theme Park Development Project'... Scheduled for Completion Next Month

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) is nearing the completion stage of the 'World Megalith Theme Park Construction Project,' which has been underway for five years, with completion scheduled for next month.

According to the county on the 6th, the World Megalith Theme Park located in Hyosan-ri, Dogok-myeon, is one of the projects to expand tourism resources at the dolmen sites registered as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage, with a total investment of 5 billion KRW from national and county funds.

The park is being developed as a megalith culture experience space by installing seven types of world-renowned megalith sculptures and megalith information boards from ten countries.

Megalith sculptures such as the Easter Island Moai statues, India's Ushan Dolmen, and France's Roche Dolmen have been created, and information boards for megaliths like the Latte Stone, Sabu Island Dolmen, and Stonehenge have also been installed.

In particular, Colombia's San Agustin Dolmen, North Korea's Gwansan-ri Dolmen, China's Shibung, India's Ushan Dolmen, and Africa's Fantasia Stone Circle were produced in their original sizes using stone materials similar to the original stones to reproduce them as closely as possible to their original forms.

Currently, megalith sculptures from seven countries and explanatory boards from ten countries have been installed, and landscaping work is underway with the creation of rest areas and management offices.

The county expects the World Megalith Theme Park to become a mecca of prehistoric megalith culture by linking it with nearby dolmen auto camping sites, dolmen prehistoric experience centers, and dolmen garden construction projects.
