'Brotherly Bond' ... 1.9 Billion Won Invested to Install 137m Suspension Bridge at Hadong Seongjebong
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] Hadong-gun, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 26th that it will install a new cloud bridge in the form of a Muju Tower suspension bridge, 137 meters long and 1.6 meters wide, around Seongjebong Sinsendae, by the end of September, with an investment of 1.9 billion KRW.
Seongjebong is located on the border between Hwage-myeon and Agyang-myeon, and is the highest peak at the southernmost foot of Jirisan Mountain. The towering peak is also called Hyeongjebong (Brother Peak) because it resembles the image of close brothers. Near the summit, azalea clusters bloom, and an annual Azalea Festival is held every spring.
Once the Seongjebong Cloud Bridge is completed, visitors will be able to fully enjoy the richness of the Pyeongsari fields in Agyang-myeon, the setting of the novel Toji, and take in the scenic views of the blue flowing Seomjin River.
