[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) is attracting visitors by creating specialized spaces throughout the Songpa Dullegil trail.

Songpa Dullegil is a circular ecological walking trail that connects four waterways surrounding Songpa-gu: Seongnaecheon, Jangjicheon, Tancheon, and the Han River. The total length is 21 km, with each course featuring waterways, forests and parks, and cultural spaces, offering a variety of scenic views. It is easily accessible from anywhere in Songpa-gu, and the flat paths allow people of all ages to use it comfortably.

Last year, the district installed various convenience facilities and signboards along Songpa Dullegil to make it more comfortable for residents to use.

This year, from April for two months, seven photo zones were created along Songpa Dullegil, adding visual enjoyment to the pleasure of walking.

The frame photo zone at the pocket observatory located on Seongnaecheon-gil allows visitors to leisurely appreciate the harmonious blend of urban and natural environments along the trail.

Also, at the entrance of Cheongnyonggyo, a walking deck photo zone was installed where visitors can see wildlife such as egrets and mallards. This offers a unique experience of taking photos with various animals as the backdrop while walking in the city.

In particular, upon arriving at Seongnaecheon’s ‘Mulbit Square,’ a major attraction on Seongnaecheon-gil, visitors can meet the new Songpa character. The new character ‘Songsongpapa,’ symbolizing the Korean consonants of Songpa, was created as a sculpture, making Mulbit Square a fun space where visitors can take photos together.

At the hidden gem ‘Metasequoia Road’ on Jangjicheon-gil, a photo zone featuring healing phrases was created, providing a natural resting place for brief reflection while walking the trail.

Additionally, the district installed benches and photo zones using the Songpa Dullegil BI (Brand Identity) on bridges throughout the trail, allowing anyone to comfortably enjoy and rest along the Dullegil.

Mayor Park Seong-su stated, “Among the many walking trails, we will make ‘Songpa Dullegil’ a representative destination for walking tourism,” and added, “I hope many people exhausted by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) will take time to walk Songpa Dullegil, take care of their health, and find rest for their minds.”
