[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] At Donggungwon, a four-season experiential theme tourism facility in Gyeongju City, Gyeongsangbuk-do, a cherry fruit picking experience event will be held as the first event since its reopening amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Gyeongju City on the 21st, this experience event will be held 9 times a day from the 29th at the experience site behind the 3rd building, the Vine Plant Garden & Insect Ecology Exhibition Hall. The participation fee is 10,000 KRW per person, and the experience lasts about 20 minutes.

After the fruit picking experience, there will be a "God's Hand Special Event" where if the weight is exactly 500g, the experience fee will be discounted by 50%, adding more excitement for participants.

Gyeongju is a major cherry production area with over 90 years of cultivation history and the largest area in Korea, known for delicious cherries. Currently, Donggungwon is cultivating a total of 33 cherry trees including Hyanghagem, Wolsanggeum, and Jwadeunggeum over an area of 600㎡. Donggungwon explained that they prepared an experience where visitors can directly participate at the optimal harvest time when the fruit is most deliciously ripe.

Im Dong-joo, director of Donggungwon, said, "It has been difficult to go out due to COVID-19, but through this cherry fruit picking experience, I hope families, couples, and friends can make many memories at Gyeongju Donggungwon," and added, "We will continue to plan more diverse content so that everyone who visits will want to come back."

Meanwhile, Gyeongju Donggungwon, which opened in September 2013, is located at the entrance of Bomun Tourist Complex on about 20,000 pyeong and includes a botanical garden, bird park, and agricultural experience spaces.
