[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Gominhyeong] Sunchang Chaegyesan Suspension Bridge and Gangcheonsan Danwol Night Walk have proudly been named among the six "Hidden Tourist Spots for the Summer Season" selected by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization.

According to Sunchang County on the 12th, the "Hidden Tourist Spots Ideal for Social Distancing Travel" were selected by a selection committee composed of experts in related fields from 855 places recommended online by the Korea Tourism Organization since April.

Among the six nationwide locations, Sunchang was the only place selected in Jeonbuk Province.

The Chaegyesan Suspension Bridge in Sunchang, opened in March, is a mujutap mountain suspension bridge with a length of 270 meters, boasting the longest span currently in existence. Its height ranges from 75 to 90 meters above ground, and the thrilling view from the bridge attracts many young visitors.

Attractive points for visitors to the Chaegyesan Suspension Bridge also include the views of the Seomjin River and Jeokseong fields from different perspectives such as the Hanok pavilion and the Adventure Observatory.

Admission is free, and the bridge is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Near the parking lot, there is a direct sales market for agricultural specialties where visitors can find eco-friendly agricultural products and various specialties from clean Sunchang.

Along with the Chaegyesan Suspension Bridge, Gangcheonsan Danwol Night Walk, also selected as a hidden tourist spot, began night openings last August to allow visitors to experience the nighttime atmosphere of Gangcheonsan.

Gangcheonsan Danwol Night Walk features a media show throughout the 1.3 km section from the entrance of Gangcheonsan to Cheonwoo Waterfall, using dazzling lighting and AR video technology to adapt the story of Seol Gongchanjeon, the first Korean novel recorded in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty.

The walk uses characters such as goblins and dragons that are familiar to children, resulting in high satisfaction.

Jo Taebong, Director of the Culture and Tourism Division, said, "In addition to Chaegyesan and Gangcheonsan selected this time, we will actively discover hidden tourist spots in Sunchang and do our best to help Sunchang become a representative travel destination in Jeonbuk."
