[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] Gyeongnam Haman-gun announced on the 1st that the ‘Mujinjeong Cultural Tourism Resource Development and Haman Nakhwa Nori Transmission Education Center Construction Project’ is gaining momentum.

This project is a cultural tourism infrastructure expansion project aimed at creating a tourist attraction by improving the infrastructure of Mujinjeong, a tangible cultural asset, and Haman Nakhwa Nori, an intangible cultural asset.

The project, with a total investment of 1 billion KRW and scheduled for completion in December this year, includes replacing pavement blocks, improving pond water quality, creating viewing decks and photo zones, planting flowers and maintaining trees, installing night landscape lighting, street lamps, benches, and rest facilities.

The county established a comprehensive maintenance plan for Mujinjeong in 2017 after a feasibility study, confirmed this project as a cultural heritage tourism resource development project in September 2018, and after detailed design last year, began full-scale project implementation this year.

Reflecting local residents’ suggestions, the county formed the Mujinjeong Development Project Advisory Group in May last year, and after several meetings, supplemented the project details.

Additionally, the Haman Nakhwa Nori Transmission Education Center Construction Project, with a total budget of 650 million KRW, is progressing smoothly with a target completion in November. Once the Mujinjeong Development Project and the Haman Nakhwa Nori Transmission Center are completed, weekend experience programs for children, youth, and tourists from local kindergartens and schools are planned.

A Haman-gun official stated, “Starting with the Malisan Tumuli Cluster and Seongsan Fortress, representative historical sites of Aragaya, we will do our best to utilize the outstanding scenery and cultural heritage stories of the Mujinjeong area so that this place can truly become a hub for historical and cultural tourism.”
