[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] On the 19th, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that after a naming selection committee meeting, the left embankment path with the Yellow Suspension Bridge and the Golden Suspension Bridge was officially named ‘Chulleong-gil,’ and the newly developed right waterfront path was named ‘Supsok-gil’.

Chulleong-gil, meaning ‘the path leading to the suspension bridge,’ allows visitors to enjoy the charm of both mountains and sea thanks to the endlessly spreading lake and the cool shade of trees.

It also features a gentle slope, making it suitable for people of all ages to walk. In particular, following the Yellow Suspension Bridge in 2018 and the opening of the Golden Suspension Bridge on the 1st of this month, the weekend average visitors have reached 7,000 to 8,000, showing its high popularity.

Meanwhile, Supsok-gil, the right waterfront path where trees and water harmonize, has already gained a reputation as a premium trekking course. The view of Jangseongho Lake from the right side, combined with the two suspension bridges, offers a unique beauty. Currently, 2.6 km out of the planned 3.7 km section for this year has been completed.

Jangseong-gun plans to complete a 34 km section connecting the entire lake through the ‘Waterfront Baekri-gil Project’ in the future.
