[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dorimcheon in Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) has been reborn as a colorful and vibrant healing space harmonized with green hues.

The district completed the 'Dorimcheon Ecological Landscape Improvement Project' from Dongbang 1-gyo to Bongnimgyo, marking the official start of the 'Dorimcheon Special Project' aimed at establishing it as a representative attraction of Gwanak-gu.

Dorimcheon is an 11 km long stream originating from Gwanaksan Mountain, flowing into Anyangcheon and then the Han River. It is a popular spot for many residents, but its narrow width and surrounding concrete structures made it ecologically and visually lacking.

To address these issues, the district invested 700 million KRW of city funds to create a vegetation base and plant trees, thereby renewing the ecological landscape of Dorimcheon.

First, to establish the vegetation base, 368 vegetation planters were installed along the embankments of Dorimcheon, planting 3,456 climbing roses of various colors and 4,484 shrubs including Nandina domestica, creating a diverse and colorful landscape.

Additionally, 264 mini rose hanging pots were installed on five major bridges over Dorimcheon, 490 trumpet creepers were planted along the walking paths, and 4,590 reeds and Miscanthus sacchariflorus were planted within the stream, transforming Dorimcheon into a lush green space.

The district aims to restore the natural scenery of Dorimcheon through diverse tree planting and create a space rich in unique attractions, aspiring to elevate it to a nationally renowned site.

Moreover, synergy effects are expected with the rose colonies previously established at the central divider of Nambu Sunhwan-ro, Kkachigogae, and the main gate entrance of Seoul National University, contributing to the overall landscape improvement of Gwanak-gu and enhancing the city’s image and competitiveness.

Mayor Park Jun-hee stated, “When the roses bloom fully in summer, Dorimcheon will become a representative resting place and a distinctive attraction in Seoul,” adding, “We expect Dorimcheon to improve residents’ quality of life and serve as a new growth engine for the local economy.”
