Gwangsan-gu Wolbongseowon in Gwangju Selected as One of the Top 100 Night Tourism Spots for 'Salon de Wolbong'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Samho) announced on the 13th that the Wolbong Seowon program ‘Salon de Wolbong’ has been selected for the Korea Tourism Organization’s ‘Top 100 Night Tourism’ list.

The Top 100 Night Tourism is a key project newly promoted this year by the Korea Tourism Organization to revive the stagnant tourism industry.

It was selected from 370 famous domestic night tourism resources and programs through recommendations from local governments and experts, as well as big data analysis.

The selected resources and programs will receive promotional support such as introduction during the Night Tourism Theme Travel Week, production of brochures in English, Chinese, and Japanese, and overseas marketing.

Salon de Wolbong is a representative program of Wolbong Seowon, a humanities exchange platform that modernly interprets the 16th-century Joseon scholar’s refined cultural lifestyle and the 18th-century French salon culture.

It consists of tea drinking sessions (Dadam, 茶談), cultural performances, and audience participation talk concerts, and has been loved by Gwangju citizens through themes reflecting life and empathetic talks.

This year, Salon de Wolbong is scheduled to operate at night on the last Friday of every month, starting with ‘The Man Embraced by Namdo, Ahn Junggeun’ on the 29th of next month.
